The Dominion of First Territory is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 421 million First citizens love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Subterranean-001. The average income tax rate is 64.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant First economy, worth 9.44 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 22,417 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign policy often involves bullwhips and leather, scientific ethics are on the chopping block, Big Belly is watching you, and the nation's new Mylab space station is notorious for being the loneliest place above the planet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. First Territory's national animal is the Eagle Automaton, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

First Territory is ranked 173,547^th in the world and 1,597^th in the Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 335.96 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
