The Empire of Deustche is a very large, safe nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, public floggings, and keen interest in outer space. The cynical population of 282 million Deustcheans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.4%.

The sizeable but inefficient Deustchean economy, worth 16.2 trillion German Papiermarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 57,371 German Papiermarks, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.

Battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out, Leader reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, proper policy proposals prerequire professional peer-reviewed papers, and all government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Deustche's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Deustche is ranked 115,118^th in the world and 1,035^th in the West Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,473.62 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
