The Armed Republic of 9th Marines is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.438 billion Marines 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 7.5%.

The strong 9th Marinesian economy, worth 88.6 trillion Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Average income is 61,628 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. 9th Marines's national animal is the Bull Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

9th Marines is ranked 43,719^th in the world and 4^th in Calebs Haven for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 57,006.75 Standard Monetary Units.
