The Republic of Precog is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its burgeoning canary population. The hard-nosed population of 26.802 billion Precogians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 29.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Precogian economy, worth a remarkable 1,387 trillion toothpicks a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,776 toothpicks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens receive notices of disenfranchisement along with their parking tickets, motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, and there's a bright dawn ahead for Precog. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Precog's national animal is the canary, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Precog is ranked 66,849^th in the world and 3,688^th in Balder for Largest Black Market, with 7.02 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
