Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of 9 Mirrormind is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its public floggings, otherworldly petting zoo, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 9.285 billion 9 Mirrormindians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 24.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong 9 Mirrormindian economy, worth 597 trillion bitcoins 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Tourism, Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. 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 64,309 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Bigtopian interference in domestic elections is always democratically sanctioned, it's best to decline if Leader offers to buy a round of drinks, remote-control hang-gliding scarecrows patrol the skies to keep songbirds from leaving the nation's borders, and teachers label difficult children as "somebody else's problem" before expelling them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. 9 Mirrormind's national animal is the leopard, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

9 Mirrormind is ranked 78,000^th in the world and 83^rd in Resuscitation for Most Primitive, scoring 30.68 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
