Government organization
The Prusso-Pomeranian government is immensely powerful, and organized into three main Branches: the Executive, the Religious, and the Military.
Executive Branch
The Executive Branch is headed by the Emperor (see below), whose duties are primarily legislative. The rest of the Executive Branch is concerned with dissemination of laws, creation and dissemination of propaganda, and the various details of international diplomacy. In every city, town, and village there is at least one community board that on which is posted every law enacted in the previous week, except for secret laws. Each day the laws enacted the day before are posted on the board, and the oldest set of laws is removed, so the board always has exactly seven days' worth of legislation. In some small villages the community boards are often neglected, with laws dating back weeks, even months remaining on the board, but the government is cracking down on this oversight and executing the officers responsible for it.
At the very top of the Executive Branch is the Holy Emperor. The Emperor has what is essentially dictatorial power, with the legal ability to issue laws, declare war, make changes to the governmental organization, etc. He (and the Emperor is always a he) is roughly comparable to the kings of old Europe, but without accountability to the Pope; in fact, the official state church, the Church of Prussia-Pomerania, is headed by the Emperor (the military is also under the Emperor's jurisdiction). The current Holy Emperor of Prussia-Pomerania is Emperor Heinrich Wilhelm II.
Religious Branch
Subservient to the Executive Branch are the Religious Branch and the Military Branch. The Religious Branch concerns itself with building churches, delivering sermons, collecting offerings, and taking confessions. All citizens are required to confess their sins, and these sins are then reported to the police for swift punishment. The Secretary of Operations of the Church of Prussia-Pomerania is Baron Ulrich Friedrich von Gutenberg.
Military Branch
The Military Branch encompasses the Army, the Navy, the Air Force (Luftwaffe), and the Police. While Prussia-Pomerania has not fought in any wars or battles in several centuries, its recruitment is heavy and its numbers are high. This trend is expected to increase in the years to come due to Prussia-Pomerania's recent adoption of a policy that would require a percentage of the nation's children be recruited into and raised in the military. The Prusso-Pomeranian Police are infamous for their brutality and total lack of mercy. They are widely known to invent charges and plant evidence on minorities or political activists, and the penalty for an alarmingly wide number of offenses is death. The Secretary of the Armed Forces of the Holy Empire of Prussia-Pomerania is Count Werner von Königsberg, although the Emperor has final say over any decisions; the Secretary of Operations of the Police of Prussia-Pomerania is Baron Adolf Himmler von Strassburg.
International relations
Prussia-Pomerania has had very little contact with the outside world in several centuries, but it has recently declared this is changing. It is widely believed that the Empire has spent the past centuries focusing and "perfecting" its government and nation, and has only recently arrived at a position in which it feels comfortable dealing with other nations. A chief ambassador, Horst von Mecklenburg, has been appointed; von Mecklenburg has negotiated an embassy exchange with the Kingdom of Alidor. It is theorized that Prussia-Pomerania is already a de facto ally of the other members of the region Germany; Prussia-Pomerania has made no statement or action that either confirms or denies this assertion.
Business and economy
The Prusso-Pomeranian economy is one of the strongest in the world's, and is remarkable for being almost entirely self-sustaining. There are no anti-trust laws, and most industries are dominated by monopolies or near-monopolies. The leaders of these corporations are almost universally granted titles of nobility, and frequently have persuasive power with friends in the government. A large peasant base (roughly 80% of the Prusso-Pomeranian population) is the core of the economy, performing all manual labor in the country. These peasants do not have the right to unionize, complain, or change careers. They are completely at the mercy of the government and the aristocracy.

Arts and culture
Prussia-Pomerania's artistic sector is made up of members of the nobility or the government, and nearly all art is in service of the government. No matter what field — be it painting, sculpture, poetry, or cinema — virtually all art is focused on the virtue of the government, the Church, or the traditional Prusso-Pomeranian spirit. Indeed, the independent art sector and the state propaganda department are in many cases virtually indistinguishable.
