Neue Deutsche Reich

Freistaat Preussen is a tiny, developing, and new nation at 1 days old with citizens primarily of German ethnicity whose religion is Christianity. It is a backwards nation when it comes to technology and many refer to it unkindly as a 'Third World Nation'. Its citizens enjoy freedom from high taxation and as a result tend to earn more money. The citizens of Freistaat Preussen work diligently to produce Marble and Wheat as tradable resources for their nation. The government has no definite position on foreign affairs at this time. When it comes to nuclear weapons Freistaat Preussen will not research or develop nuclear weapons. The military of Freistaat Preussen has been positioned at all border crossings and is arresting all drug traffickers. Freistaat Preussen does not allow any form of government protests. Its armed police forces work quickly at 'dissolving' any and all government protests. It has an open border policy, but in order for immigrants to remain in the country they will have to become citizens first. Free speech is considered taboo in Freistaat Preussen. The government gives foreign aid when it can, but looks to take care of its own people first. Freistaat Preussen will trade with other nations with questionable ethical treatment of their citizens but prefers to keep such trade agreements a secret.
