The Commonwealth of First Strike is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.271 billion First Strikeans 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, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.5%.

The strong First Strikean economy, worth 63.3 trillion Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is 49,811 Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 321,039 per year while the poor average 3,122, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. First Strike's national animal is the Llama, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

First Strike is ranked 40,461^st in the world and 4^th in United Nations Space Command for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,228.3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
