The Intelligent red necks of Junkbot9 is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by Fee with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, frequent executions, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 796 million Junkbots 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 relatively small, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry and Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of China. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Junkbot economy, worth 103 trillion mechincal pencils a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 129,723 mechincal pencils, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 676,952 per year while the poor average 13,381, a ratio of 50.6 to 1.

Door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', citizens compete to guess the time between the royal lady's contractions, citizens are arrested for naturally producing proteins, and citizens finish cleaning up after the annual National Treasure Hunt just in time for the next one. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Junkbot9's national animal is the Apollo, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Junkbot9 is ranked 331,363^rd in the world and 258^th in Hell for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring -6.32 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
