The Federal Republic of Almanny is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Frank-Walter Steinmeier with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.242 billion Almans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 32.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alman economy, worth 382 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 117,805 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, weather reports simply advise Almans to 'look outside', competing private ambulances racing to be the first to traffic accidents are a major cause of road accidents, and 'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Alman Space Agency. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Almanny's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Almanny is ranked 23,735^th in the world and 346^th in Europe for Most Developed, scoring 85.93 on the Human Development Index.
