Panzerlander society was based primarily around the military. All citizens were obliged to serve at least three years in the armed forces, and in times of war a minuteman (and woman) militia could be formed by nearly anyone to defend the Empire. But Panzerlanders were not limited in scope to not recognise the arts and other cultural necessities of a modern society. Generally speaking, the atmosphere of Panzerland was very 1940's. Victrola Phonographs were still more popular than DVD players and Wagner still sold more records than Warrant. While the technology was available and used where necessecary, Panzerlanders preferred the simpler life of the 40's to anything else. One major difference between Panzerlanders and the 40's was that women are treated as equals, as was seen by Frau Blavatsky's Hitzkopf Abteilung (Spitfire Division sHiAb). | Panzerlander society was based primarily around the military.
