The District of Martin Richter is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 23.144 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, with Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Environment receive no funds. 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 263,986^th in the world and 6^th in Bissau for Safest, scoring 10.94 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
