The State of Marche Richelieu is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 19.58 billion Marche Richelieuans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 16.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Marche Richelieuan economy, worth 732 trillion betales a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 37,423 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, and all tariffs have been abolished. Crime is well under control. Marche Richelieu's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Marche Richelieu is ranked 162,777^th in the world and 7^th in Maya for Most Primitive, scoring -61.24 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
