The Republic of Clone Trooper 9 is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 1.389 billion Clone Trooper 9ians 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 medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 37.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Clone Trooper 9ian economy, worth 53.3 trillion Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,390 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls, oil executives can be seen reluctantly cleaning oil-soaked birds, welfare recipients frequently parlay checks into homelessness, and the government is under the thumb of countless special interests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clone Trooper 9's national animal is the Droid, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Clone Trooper 9 is ranked 227,568^th in the world and 3,160^th in eta for Largest Populations, with 1.39 billion capita.
