The Bi-pin Lamp Standard of G9 is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its smutty television, free-roaming dinosaurs, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 19.492 billion G9ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 79.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient G9ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,858 trillion Lumens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 146,652 Lumens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, any secret that gets off someone's chest is promptly replaced, APCs on school runs disgorge kids via assault ramps, and the nation's soldiers often believe they're in the Air Force. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. G9's national animal is the Electron, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

G9 is ranked 230,779^th in the world and 3^rd in the Isles for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 30,503.76 Standard Monetary Units.
