The Federation of 9999 maniacs is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.824 billion maniacs live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, outspoken government prioritizes Administration, with Healthcare, Defense, and Education also on the agenda, while Law & Order and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 8.2%.

The strong 9999 maniacsian economy, worth 210 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 55,071 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Administrative districts are increasingly defined by their taste in housing architecture, drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, street preachers sell salvation with a side order of shame on every corner, and the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. 9999 maniacs's national animal is the Rattlesnake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

9999 maniacs is ranked 11,902^nd in the world and 6^th in Realm of the Whispering Winds for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 8,064.35 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
