The Republic of McCarthyist I is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.064 billion McCarthyist Iians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.4%.

The very strong McCarthyist Iian economy, worth 67.2 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 63,150 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 192,913 per year while the poor average 16,023, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. McCarthyist I's national animal is the bald eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

McCarthyist I is ranked 112,189^th in the world and 1^st in World Socialist Assembly for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,540.97 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
