The Republic of Curative Agent 99 is a massive, pleasant nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, ritual sacrifices, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.35 billion Curative Agent 99ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 39.2%.

The sizeable but inefficient Curative Agent 99ian economy, worth 51.7 trillion Credits a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,302 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Fraternities are notorious for drunken hooliganism, reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, the police double as repo men, and construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Curative Agent 99's national animal is the Trout.

Curative Agent 99 is ranked 151,536th in the world and 172nd in Blue Chevron for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,724.33 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
