The Black Holy Kingdom of Martina Gedeck is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Martina Gedeck with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 4.253 billion Martina Gedeckians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Munich. The average income tax rate is 87.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Martina Gedeckian economy, worth a remarkable 1,555 trillion Gold Bars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 365,775 Gold Bars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government's suggestions box is curiously empty these days, a small country is wondering where their capitol building's gold dome went, modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, and proletariat workers identify less with the hammer and sickle and more with the touchscreen and phone charger. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Martina Gedeck's national animal is the Vampire Bull Shark, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Römisch Katholisch.

Martina Gedeck is ranked 290,863rd in the world and 90th in Goddess White for Lowest Crime Rates, with 25.65 law-abiding acts per hour.
