The Republic of September 6 is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 384 million September 6ians 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 medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 28.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient September 6ian economy, worth 15.9 trillion Cards a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,413 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, and teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. September 6's national animal is the Card, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

September 6 is ranked 141,216^th in the world and 7^th in Calendar for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring zero on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
