The Republic of IFoC1 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.039 billion IFoC1ians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 31.9%.

The strong IFoC1ian economy, worth 63.2 trillion deniers a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,809 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

9 out of 10 consumers think that vitamins can cure cancer, Leader's power is effectively nullified as no bill becomes law without the upper house's support, TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews, and tourists visit IFoC1 to mass-moon IFoC1ian politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IFoC1's national animal is the elephant.

IFoC1 is ranked 43,312^th in the world and 27^th in Avril Lavigne Nation for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,835.45 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
