The Empire of The 9th Legio is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Augustus with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working population of 15.386 billion Legionaries enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexandria. The average income tax rate is 71.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Legionnaire economy, worth a remarkable 2,960 trillion Drachmas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 192,440 Drachmas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Police struggle to solve crimes due to the lack of fingerprint records, large sections of The 9th Legio have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, and drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The 9th Legio's national animal is the Bull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

The 9th Legio is ranked 223,004^th in the world and 8,906^th in Balder for Safest, scoring 27.94 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
