The Republic of Ammunition Factory ix is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.301 billion Ammunition Factory ixians 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, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 15.2%.

The strong Ammunition Factory ixian economy, worth 253 trillion APDS a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Pizza Delivery, and Soda Sales. Average income is 58,990 APDS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Radio stations are forbidden to play anything with too much drum or bass, the government is spending billions of taxpayer APDS to support "struggling" industries, EULAs remind customers that "Private Mode" is a browser setting rather than a promise, and fruit market traders let their stock spoil rather than reduce their prices at the day's end. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force. Ammunition Factory ix's national animal is the Tank, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ammunition Factory ix is ranked 180,233^rd in the world and 39^th in Card Captor Pacifica for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 31.84 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
