Overview • Factbook • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The OVERLORD Kingdom of Firstaria is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by OVERLORD Daniel Mercury with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 11.768 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calatia. The average income tax rate is 54%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.

Glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, suppression of pro-democracy protests is a daily occurrence, and the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Firstaria's national animal is the Garuda, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Brotherhood, and its currency is the Firania Credit.

Firstaria is ranked 2,601st in 10000 Islands and 128,274th in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -68 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
