The Ever-Present Control of Red Fist Network is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Lord Lleyrwyn LXXVIII with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, sprawling nuclear power plants, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 17.255 billion Pawns are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Glorious City Of Pascia MK39. The average income tax rate is 84.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pawnian economy, worth a remarkable 6,771 trillion Arges a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 392,453 Arges, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to Red Fist Network as a reminder of their "special relationship", the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network, and slavers view "what did your last slave die of" as a request for a demonstration. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Red Fist Network's national animal is the Red Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The 44th Council Of The Eternal.

Red Fist Network is ranked 285,602nd in the world and 10,965th in Lazarus for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 8.43 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
