The Republic of 9th Rangers is a very large, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning turtle population. The hard-working population of 463 million 9th Rangersians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 17.4%.

The 9th Rangersian economy, worth 20.9 trillion francs a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 45,235 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 9th Rangers's national animal is the turtle.

9th Rangers is ranked 226,825^th in the world and 13,028^th in Balder for Most Developed, scoring 52.69 on the Human Development Index.
