The Republic of Lil card farmer 9 is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.687 billion Lil card farmer 9ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 47.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Lil card farmer 9ian economy, worth 82.4 trillion pesos 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, fairly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, 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 48,838 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lil card farmer 9's national animal is the kiwi, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
