The Republic of First principle is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, prohibition of alcohol, and irreverence towards religion. The humorless population of 4.686 billion First principleans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming First principlean economy, worth 502 trillion Duckcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 107,146 Duckcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, people's charity begins and ends at home, the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, and pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. First principle's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

First principle is ranked 273,980^th in the world and 1,131^st in Artificial Solar System for Nicest Citizens, with 5.59 average smiles per day.
