Krisberg

The Federal Republic of Krisberg is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Peter Sieben with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.438 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Koblenz. The average income tax rate is 87%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Book Publishing.

Suppression of pro-democracy protests is a daily occurrence, the country is preparing for war, citizens must pay to enjoy Krisberg's pristine beaches, and construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Krisberg's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the kris.
