The MT Army Caretaker of Custodian 9 is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 26.186 billion Custodian 9ians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, outspoken morass — prioritizes Welfare, with Healthcare, Spirituality, and Education also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 79.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but stagnant Custodian 9ian economy, worth 268 trillion Citas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Furniture Restoration industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Gambling. Average income is 10,251 Citas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The tenet of free speech is held dear, voting is voluntary, meat-eating is frowned upon, and Custodian 9's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Custodian 9's national animal is the Vippertooth Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Custodian 9 is ranked 199,156th in the world and 1st in Hyboria for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 41.23 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
