Ack... I sincerely doubt that analysis. Furthermore, in Transhuman Space, which is the setting we are discussing here, the Bundesrepublik is an advanced Fifth Wave nation, so any personal interpretation that you may have of Germany as "most stupid" does not belong in a discussion of the official, canonical Transhuman Space setting.

Even if we were not discussing the official setting, I have a very hard time picturing present-day Germany (2010) descend into Third World status in a mere 90-100 year time frame.

Tchüss,
