Allinburg

Overview

Allinburg is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Hermann Fegelein with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 1.906 billion Fegels are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fegelland. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Allinburg's national animal is the Kitler, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Fegelism. It currently resides in Technologica, and is also the current WA Delegate.

Economy

The frighteningly efficient Fegel economy, worth 370 trillion Sterlins (§) a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 194,497 Sterlins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens. The exchange rate is US$1 = §0.6088 = US$1.6425.[1]♦ Allinburg has the Largest Trade Deficit in Tecnologica.[2]♦♦
