The Republic of Martin Luther is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its closed borders, flagrant waste-dumping, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.795 billion Martin Lutherians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 35.4%.
The strong Martin Lutherian economy, worth 239 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,158 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Cities in Martin Luther declare independence based on interpretation of the historic meaning of cave paintings, 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, and a cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Martin Luther's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Martin Luther is ranked 130,297th in the world and 7th in Paperwork for Largest Populations, with 3.79 billion capita.
