The Rogue Nation of Cloud9 is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, otherworldly petting zoo, and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 8.978 billion Cloud9ians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 26.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Cloud9ian economy, worth 528 trillion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 58,894 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products, women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, election ballot papers are so long that unused ones are recycled as toilet roll, and the sick and dying are locked in their homes with a red "X" painted on the front door. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Cloud9's national animal is the kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cloud9 is ranked 133,109^th in the world and 2^nd in Esports for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.72 law-abiding acts per hour.
