What Is the German Microcensus?

 Well....every year, the German statistics folks of the government.....conducts what you'd call a mini-census....which typically affects around 800,000 citizens.  Some parts of the census are simple and just a couple of pages.  

It's been brought up that some parts of the microcensus has grown to around 100 pages.

By law (including the EU regulations), you have to fill the paperwork out. 

Course, you can imagine the typical German.....getting this 'folder' in the mailbox, and grasping that it's roughly 100 pages of questions about your life, your property, your values, etc.

The odds of the normal five-page form?  Overwhelming, and usually the normal situation for most people.
