The Republic of 8th Martian Infantry is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.096 billion 8th Martian Infantryians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 19.8%.
The 8th Martian Infantryian economy, worth 61.0 trillion Points a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 55,642 Points, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.
Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force. 8th Martian Infantry's national animal is the wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
8th Martian Infantry is ranked 85,920th in the world and 1st in Walbard City for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,375.75 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
