The Republic of Piccadilly Line 9 is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, disturbing lack of elderly people, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 9.598 billion Piccadilly Line 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 36.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Piccadilly Line 9ian economy, worth 387 trillion lire a year, is dominated by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,357 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
Cyclists spend more time unlocking their bicycles than they do cycling, vacationers and business travelers are often warned that they may lose the right to vote if they spend too much time overseas, public incontinence is a growing problem amongst the nation's women, and crossing the road requires a risk assessment. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force. Piccadilly Line 9's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Piccadilly Line 9 is ranked 229,895th in the world and 1st in 0527 grey teal for Nicest Citizens, with 5.02 average smiles per day.
