The Colony of 869 is a massive, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning kangaroo population. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.172 billion 869ians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.5%.

The strong 869ian economy, worth 60.3 trillion rupees a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Average income is 51,492 rupees, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.

Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. 869's national animal is the kangaroo.

869 is ranked 102,374^th in the world and 23^rd in APA for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,232.61 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
