The Gates of Firstity is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate population of 4.335 billion Firstityians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 46.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Firstityian economy, worth 368 trillion Greckles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,007 Greckles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it, the face of Leader is a permanent feature of the Firstity City skyline, the politician's labor union forces stage names upon candidates, and children seem to be getting better at lying these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Firstity's national animal is the Roach, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Firstity is ranked 81,569^th in the world and 1^st in Khulna for Highest Average Incomes, with 85,007.36 Standard Monetary Units.
