The Kingdom of 9 Cobras is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Arbok with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.333 billion snakes 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Venom. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.0%.
The frighteningly efficient 9 Cobrasian economy, worth 204 trillion noodles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 153,050 noodles, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.
Asking a cutie their star sign is always met with withering scorn, rap artists are regularly arrested for promoting extremist groups, education is transforming people into first-rate snobs, and an online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse. Crime is moderate. 9 Cobras's national animal is the king cobra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
9 Cobras is ranked 323,262nd in the world and 18th in Quarry Bay for Nicest Citizens, with 0.53 average smiles per day.
