The Republic of Jet Trooper 18 is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The cynical, devout population of 1.282 billion Jet Trooper 18ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 38.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Jet Trooper 18ian economy, worth 63.0 trillion Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,125 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage, comatose jurors are the defense's favorite, crime is on the rise as online youths compete to vlog the most shocking scenes of violence, and saying 'no homo' is enough to escape punishment for the crime of being gay. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jet Trooper 18's national animal is the Droid, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Jet Trooper 18 is ranked 209,674^th in the world and 2,551^st in eta for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
