The Commonwealth of First Harbor is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, infamous sell-swords, and frequent executions. The devout population of 164 million First Harborians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 21.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient First Harborian economy, worth 5.93 trillion waves a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,185 waves, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The fishing lobby has stemmed the tide of environmental regulations, prisoners due for execution often use their final statement to complain about soggy bread rolls, code enforcement officers circle wealthy First Harborians like vultures, and the men in trenchcoats hanging around playgrounds are actually police officers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. First Harbor's national animal is the trout.

First Harbor is ranked 237,839^th in the world and 11^th in The United Colonies of Blue Harbor for Most Secular, with 14.02 Atheism Rate.
