The Republic of First Consul is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 3.46 billion First Consulians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 50.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The First Consulian economy, worth 146 trillion Imperials a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 42,441 Imperials, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. First Consul's national animal is the Curiata, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

First Consul is ranked 190,370^th in the world and 2^nd in Comitia Curiata for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
