The Republic of Always first option is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 266 million Always first optionians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 62.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Always first optionian economy, worth 12.0 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,004 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Code enforcement officers circle wealthy Always first optionians like vultures, the world beyond the wall is a distant memory, some say that Leader can't handle the truth but can handle truth-seekers, and everyone wants to be on the guest list for diplomatic parties. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Always first option's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Always first option is ranked 177,112^th in the world and 2^nd in OOK OOK for Least Corrupt Governments, with 92.81 percentage of bribes refused.
