The Republic of 9001 is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, triple-decker prams, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 8.405 billion 9001ians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.6%.

The frighteningly efficient 9001ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,077 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 128,211 marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 414,366 per year while the poor average 29,979, a ratio of 13.8 to 1.

Airplane passenger seat sizes and ticket prices are both first-class, the government spends twice its healthcare budget on replacing stolen pens, burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms, and pieces of iron pyrite are believed to be worth their weight in gold. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 9001's national animal is the turtle.

9001 is ranked 309,161^st in the world and 233^rd in The Wellspring for Most Pacifist, with 6.11 cheeks turned per day.
