The Armeeoberkommando of 8th Army is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, infamous sell-swords, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.213 billion German Empires are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 28.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The 8th Armyian economy, worth 103 trillion Eastern Fronts a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,534 Eastern Fronts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, pet owners make sure their dogs wear diapers, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, and morale within the seismologist community has hit rock bottom. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 8th Army's national animal is the Red Army, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

8th Army is ranked 181,990^th in the world and 22^nd in Germany for Most Developed, scoring 53.95 on the Human Development Index.
