The District of Baumgarden is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Liard with a fair hand, and notable for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 34.378 billion Baumgardenians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The minute, moralistic, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Welfare, with Healthcare, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.

The very strong Baumgardenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,911 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 55,611 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Baumgarden has designated District City as its capital city, Liard has just been declared ruler of Baumgarden in an international press conference, a major religion has been named as Baumgarden's national religion, and most academic research has ground to a halt. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Baumgarden's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Baumgarden is ranked 115,127^th in the world and 157^th in State for Most Developed, scoring 58.5 on the Human Development Index.
