Teutonia, officially known as the Socialist Republic of Teutonia (SRT) (Teutonic: 𐍃𐍉𐌶𐌹𐌰𐌻𐌹𐍃𐍄𐌹𐍃𐍇𐌴 𐍂𐌴𐍀𐌿𐌱𐌻𐌹𐌺 𐍄𐌴𐌿𐍄𐍉𐌽𐌴𐌽𐌻𐌰𐌽𐌳 tr. Sozialistische Republik Teutonenland) was a in Western Artemia that described itself as a. It bordered Vallis to the northwest, Legantus to the northeast, Boaga to the east, and Agrana y Griegro to the south. Socialist Teutonia formed after the collapse of the Teutonic Empire during the Grand Campaigns and Teutonic Revolution, aided and abetted by the Crown Alliance led by Tiperyn. The war and the revolution are known known in Teutonia and other similar circles as the Krieg des Erwachens (Anglic: War of Awakening). The country ultimately collapsed in 2021 during the Teutonic War, when elements of the North-South Concordant and League of Free Nations independently invaded Teutonia in response to open civil unrest and the murdering of Kayan embassy personnel.

While Teutonia's economy was highly centralized for the better part of the 20th century, the Volkskammer—Teutonia's unicameral parliament—passed a series of bills in 2000 allowing deregulation of certain non-critical economic fields which has allowed these fields and related fields to expand. This has caused Teutonia's economy to expand at a much healthier rate from 2001 to 2012. However, growth was ultimately stiffled starting in 2013 due to a backpedaling on liberalizing policies, growing civil dissatisfaction, and the growing influence of far-right elements in the Teutonic government.

Politically, the nation was officially a and as such was ruled by the Kommunistische Partei Teutonenland (KPT). By law, other parties could be formed, but these had to be in a formal alliance with the KPT via the National Front of Teutonenland. Throughout most of its existence, the KPT controlled 125 of 400 seats in the Volkskammer, while the Christliche Sozialpartei (CSP) and other parties each filled 55 seats each. Although party seat positions were set by law, the growing influence and regional popular appeal of the far-right National Socialist Workers Party (NASAP) from 2010 onwards led to the cessation of 30 seats from the various parties to NASAP, giving it the second largest representation. The growing power of NASAP, both in the Volkshammer and state ministries, is cited as a key factor that incited the Teutonic War.

The culture of Teutonia continually changed over the course of its existence, but remained relatively conservative in nature compared to more liberalized societies surrounding it such as Legantus and Vallis in addition to other socialist societies like Arbenz and Aftarestan. In some areas, Teutonia was even considered more conservative than the autocratic Tiperyn and Agrana y Griegro. For example, through to its collapse, Teutonia maintained homosexuality as a crime against the "Security of the the Worker's and Peasant's State". The state justifies its outlawing by calling it an infection by outside "degenerative" natures which make those who actively practice homosexuality more inclined to activities that are against the health of the state and the revolution. In reality, this policy was likely the result of an outsized effort on the part of officially minority parties in coalition.

Military
Teutonia had control over a very large number of military and paramilitary organizations through various organizations and ministries. Four legally authorized organizations existed that were allowed to maintain armed forces. These were the Ministry of the National Defense which contained the regular armed forces, the Ministry of the Interior which had the State Police and the Border Troops, the Ministry of State Security (known as the Stasi) which contained various intelligence gathering and security organizations along with the Walter Schellenberg Guards Regiment and other assorted commando battalions, and Combat Groups of the Working Class (KdA) which—while was apart of the Ministry of the Interior—answered directly to the Kommunistische Partei Teutonenland.

Ministry of National Defense
The Ministry of National Defense (Teutonic: Ministerium für Nationale Verteidigung (MNV)) was the organization responsible for the direct defense of Teutonia against outside military threats. To achieve this goal, the MNV worked in cooperation with the Ministry of State Security on more subversive threats against military targets while the Stasi were responsible for outside political threats and subversive actions.

The Armed Forces was called the National People's Army (Teutonic: Nationale Volksarmee (NVA)) and was broken down into four primary branches:
 * People's Army (Volksheer)
 * People's War Navy (Volkskriegmarine)
 * People's Air Force (Volksluftwaffe)
 * People's Space Force (Volksweltraumwaffe)

Ministry of the Interior
The Ministry of the Interior (Teutonic: Ministerium des Innern (MdI)) was responsible for the security of the borders and interior of Teutonia. The Ministry of the Interior was also responsible for the training of the Combat Groups of the Working Class and was partly responsible for training and manning along with the party. The MdI had two branches under its command:
 * People's Police (Volkspolizei)
 * Border Troops (Grenztruppen)

Ministry of State Security
The Ministry of State Security (Teutonic: Ministerium für Staatssicherheit (SSD)) was commonly known as the Stasi, a shortened version of the alternative name for the SSD, the Staatssicherheitsdienst. The Stasi was the secret police of Teutonia responsible for the safeguarding of the party, the revolution, and the state against all subversive actions taken against it by outside and internal agents.

It also contained the Walter Schellenberg Guards Regiment which was in charge of security of sensitive government facilities and also conducted plain clothes security at important party events. They were notably unpopular with the local populace due to their secretive nature. There are many claims of political killings, sabotage of foreign industry and technology, and industrial espionage by nations and watch-groups outside of Teutonia that are pinned to the Stasi.

Religion
In accordance with its principles, Teutonia's government (as proclaimed by the KPT) was by law secular and also is an advocate of. However, a number of minority parties in its parliament were officially Christian in their theological allegiance. Additionally, in a study conducted in 2015, only 65% of the population self-described as atheist. Meanwhile, 27% identified as Teutonic Protestant and 8% as Catholic. The two churches supported the revolution the 1920s, but became distanced in the 1930s into the 1950s, when dialogue and a warming of relations occurred.
