    Germany is the same but without the bullet trains and the robots wiping your ass.

      Well, also plus random homeless guy yelling at you about Vladimir Lenin, the roads looking like Romania ca. 1983 and a cadre of stern government employees showing up out of nowhere to shout “NEIN!!” and disappear. Very futuristic in a sort of Metro 2033 way.

      we have plenty of bullet trains - 367 last I checked, plus bullet trains from other countries - they’re just chronically late because of car-focused policies over the last decades causing the infrastructure to basically rot away.

      still no ass-wiping robots though, maybe one day…

      Yeah, when I think of Germany, I think of papers.
