The District of Martin Richter is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 23.151 billion Martin Richterians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, although Education is also considered important, while Social Policy and Environment are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The very strong Martin Richterian economy, worth 737 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 31,855 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 216,577 per year while the poor average 1,711, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, education and welfare spending are on the rise, and the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Martin Richter's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Martin Richter is ranked 259,932^nd in the world and 6^th in Bissau for Most Patriotic, with 1.27 flags saluted per person per day.
