The Workers' and Peasants' State of East Germany DDR is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Walter Ulbricht with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 10.43 billion East Germans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 71.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish East German economy, worth 177 trillion DDMS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is 17,046 DDMS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

State Atheism has been named as East Germany DDR's national religion, seats at the back of the bus are reserved for homosexuals, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, and legislators must raise their hands if they want to speak. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Germany DDR's national animal is the Black Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is State Atheism.

East Germany DDR is ranked 161,716^th in the world and 6,118^th in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 247.73 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
