The Republic of Common1 is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Fidel with an even hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory vegetarianism, and national health service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 12.386 billion Common1ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of common. The average income tax rate is 75.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Common1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,449 trillion florins a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 116,998 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The free market's hand is quite visible, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, robosexual marriages are increasingly common, and drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Common1's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholic.

Common1 is ranked 221,818^th in the world and 10^th in Common Storage for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -3.82 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
