Teutonia is often perceived from the outside as a nation of immoral pragmatists, justifying their means by the outcome of their actions, who are known to make deals in the dark with demons and the undead.
In reality, nothing could be further from the truth, and it is, in fact, a nation of highly moral pragmatists who make deals with demons and the undead in broad daylight.
