The Gates of Firstity is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, avant-garde cinema, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.916 billion Firstityians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 45.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Firstityian economy, worth 330 trillion Greckles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,448 Greckles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, sick Firstityians are hair today and gone tomorrow, and radio stations are forbidden to play anything with too much drum or bass. 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 135,738^th in the world and 2^nd in Khulna for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 3,760.14 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
