The Dominion of First Territory is a very large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, compulsory vegetarianism, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 416 million First citizens love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Subterranean-001. The average income tax rate is 64.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant First economy, worth 9.71 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 23,331 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Proletariat workers identify less with the hammer and sickle and more with the touchscreen and phone charger, tax-payers are funding ever more extravagant movie projects, foreign policy often involves bullwhips and leather, and scientific ethics are on the chopping block. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. First Territory's national animal is the Eagle Automaton, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

First Territory is ranked 313,810^th in the world and 2,180^th in the Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 6.00 billion Standard Monetary Units.
