The Free Land of CC-1 is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its smutty television, ritual sacrifices, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-working, devout population of 21.598 billion CC-1ians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 56.2%.

The powerhouse CC-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,703 trillion $$s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 78,891 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot are regarded as heroes, CC-1 has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, military parades quietly tiptoe their way through the streets, and children as young as eight can be found working in factories. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CC-1's national animal is the Death's-head Hawkmoth, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

CC-1 is ranked 67,376^th in the world and 1^st in Cape Cod for Most Developed, scoring 71.87 on the Human Development Index.
