The Republic of Immediacy is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 526 million Immediacyians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The thriving Immediacyian economy, worth 38.7 trillion raffle tickets a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 73,547 raffle tickets, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 260,333 per year while the poor average 15,002, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Immediacy's national animal is the dragonfly, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Immediacy is ranked 96,231^st in the world and 5^th in After Hours for Highest Average Incomes, with 73,547.27 Standard Monetary Units.
