The Große Halbblutreich of Aachenheimer is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Premierminister Paul E Reed with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 4.95 billion Aachenese live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aachen. The average income tax rate is 89.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aachenese economy, worth a remarkable 1,155 trillion Kronamarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 233,362 Kronamarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Fraternities are notorious for drunken hooliganism, foreign leaders are advising that Premierminister Paul E Reed's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, cosmopolitan citizens ask what their countries can do for them, and employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams. Crime is totally unknown. Aachenheimer's national animal is the Griffin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Aachener Nationalpartei.

Aachenheimer is ranked 11,788^th in the world and 15^th in Portugal for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 54.76 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
