The Fiefdom of Common11 is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Pêro Escobar with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 9.248 billion Common11ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sao Tome. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Common11ian economy, worth 792 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 85,615 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, a mayoral candidate backed by Pêro Escobar recently won re-election with 110% of the vote, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, and bargain-hunting is considered unpatriotic. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Common11's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Common11 is ranked 14,755^th in the world and 5^th in Common Storage for Most Devout, with 3,109.09 prayers per hour.
