The strong Preferred Candidatean economy, worth 23.0 trillion soft powers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 40,175 soft powers, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 258,932 per year while the poor average 2,518, 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. Preferred Candidate's national animal is the candidate, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
