Overview

Every country has a weak point. Germany's happens to be political institutions, where political polarization ranks worse than 35% of the 72 countries on this list. Housing policy and tax and wealth policy aren't doing much better, landing at the 38th and 94th percentiles respectively. Overall, that puts Germany at #53 — #53 Most Cooked.

Overall score: 20/100 — 7 points below the global median of 27 (higher = more cooked). Where the system is holding up: homicide rate (Homicide 0.9/100k) — better than 71% of countries tracked. The story here isn't the country — it's the political institutions stack behind these numbers.
