The Republic of AOF 9 is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.235 billion AOF 9ians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.
The thriving AOF 9ian economy, worth 89.0 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Average income is 72,027 bitcoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 254,953 per year while the poor average 14,692, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.
Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. AOF 9's national animal is the porpoise, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.
AOF 9 is ranked 91,546th in the world and 32nd in Army of Freedom for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,724.8 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
