The Insular Area of Firstlight Cay is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.198 billion Firstlight Cayians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.4%.

The all-consuming Firstlight Cayian economy, worth 204 trillion Imperial Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 92,905 Imperial Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

It isn't a secret plot without caviar and foie gras, the new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, the best way to get the government to U-turn is to squick out Leader, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Firstlight Cay's national animal is the Island Doggo, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Firstlight Cay is ranked 62,905^th in the world and 2^nd in New Islands for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 64.35 Effective Tax Rate.
