The Delusioned Undersea Humans of Lurklife 9 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Luru Luru with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.496 billion Lurklife 9ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hajimeru. The average income tax rate is 30.7%.

The Lurklife 9ian economy, worth 452 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Pizza Delivery, Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 60,336 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Many of the unemployed have had the fight taken out of them, cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high, the government is pouring funds into the nation's welfare system, and praying before a battle is a court-martial offence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lurklife 9's national animal is the squirrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Teruterubozu.

Lurklife 9 is ranked 239,814^th in the world and 7,590^th in Suspicious for Nicest Citizens, with 2.43 average smiles per day.
