The Empire of J o Jian Defense Squad A9 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical population of 6.84 billion J o Jian Defense Squad A9ians 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 tiny, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.6%.

The strong J o Jian Defense Squad A9ian economy, worth 468 trillion Sauces a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 68,436 Sauces, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Military spending recently hit a new high, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. J o Jian Defense Squad A9's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

J o Jian Defense Squad A9 is ranked 197,830^th in the world and 26^th in J o Jian Military Network for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.88 law-abiding acts per hour.
