The Republic of Preferred Candidate is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 532 million Preferred Candidateans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.

The strong Preferred Candidatean economy, worth 21.4 trillion soft powers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 40,175 soft powers, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 258,932 per year while the poor average 2,518, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Preferred Candidate's national animal is the candidate, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Preferred Candidate is ranked 265,809^th in the world and 1,503^rd in the Outback for Most Developed, scoring 51.05 on the Human Development Index.
