Zuckerland

Zuckerland (officially known as the Mighty Duchy of Zuckerland or Maechtik Herzogentum Zuckerlands in Zuckerisch) is a small landlocked country located in Central Europe, between the borders of Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic. Only 70 square smiles wide, its territory is very small and restricted but offers unique landscapes and nature reserves. Indeed, 60% of the territory is made of forest, mountains and lakes whilst the rest is divided between cities and arable land. The 2014 censorship recorded a population of 245 000 Zuckerlanders. The capital is Zuckerdorf (40 000 inhabitants), famous for its historical castles and houses, it is also home to many museums, parks, the parliament, the government and the Duke's palace (Herzogs Palatz). The economy relies mainly on tourism, fishing, agriculture and services. The official language is Zuckerisch, a language similar to German that shares the same roots but has evolved over time. Zuckerland is a constitutional monarchy ruled by Duke Karl-Zebastian III, supported by the lord chancellor and the senate. After three decades of tyrannical rule under Dictator Kolonel Krass, Zuckerlanders started a revolution and brought their nation back to democracy in 1971. Zuckerland is a peaceful and neutral country, therefore it has no military of its own, it is officially under protection of the German Armed Forces since the Tegel agreement of 1973.
