The Protectorate of FK-1 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 23.063 billion FK-1ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.3%.
The strong FK-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,570 trillion $$s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 68,091 $$s, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.
The nation solves other countries' human rights problems with a generous dose of violence, nobody thinks that the Godfather was bettered by Part 2, Leader spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders, and truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. FK-1's national animal is the Dolly Varden, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
FK-1 is ranked 90,008th in the world and 1st in Florida Keys for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,693.86 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
