The Dictatorship of German Tyrane is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by S L Isaac Brecheortur Sr V with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, infamous sell-swords, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.603 billion German Tyraneans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of TyraneoSaurous. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.9%.

The frighteningly efficient German Tyranean economy, worth 426 trillion Reichsmarks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 163,999 Reichsmarks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 765,457 per year while the poor average 21,032, a ratio of 36.4 to 1.

Citizens have reported seeing strange rays of light emanating from the moon, old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime, anyone who doesn't attend Official Governmental Religious Services is fined, and the police have reaffirmed their tough stance on drugs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. German Tyrane's national animal is the German dreadnognt, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Isaitianity.

German Tyrane is ranked 86,751^st in the world and 320^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,436.53 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
