The Republic of Spec Ops Trooper 18 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The cynical, devout population of 1.525 billion Spec Ops Trooper 18ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. The average income tax rate is 41.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Spec Ops Trooper 18ian economy, worth 63.8 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,847 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The 'sing-a-long with Leader' album is a popular souvenir, many feel that the government's ban on cars to combat reckless driving was "a tad excessive", the military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings", and public projects are synonymous with yawn-inducing conformity. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spec Ops Trooper 18's national animal is the Droid, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Spec Ops Trooper 18 is ranked 279,560^th in the world and 5,106^th in eta for Smartest Citizens, with 17.01 quips per hour.
