The Silent Wingstroke of DG9 is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Daniel Green with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cynical population of 5.63 billion Travellers 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Public Transport, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Exodus Maximus. The average income tax rate is 46.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The DG9ian economy, worth 178 trillion Unis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 31,527 Unis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military frequently holds bake sales to raise funds, all mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, and Creationism has been named as DG9's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. DG9's national animal is the owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Creationism.

DG9 is ranked 162,063^rd in the world and 1^st in Silent HQ for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -1 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
