The Operation of Project 1a is a titanic, efficient nation, notable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 11.371 billion Project 1ans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Environment. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.3%.

The thriving Project 1an economy, worth a remarkable 1,131 trillion rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,550 rubles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 363,269 per year while the poor average 19,370, a ratio of 18.8 to 1.

Extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, compass sales have gone south, urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines, and colonial citizens are forced to sing the praise of the "Great Project 1an Liberator". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Project 1a's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Project 1a is ranked 51,034^th in the world and 12^th in Free macau for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 179.45 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
