The Empire of The First Master is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Roger Delgado with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, pith helmet sales, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 21.112 billion Masterians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Masteropolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.4%.
The powerhouse First Masterian economy, worth a remarkable 2,460 trillion slaves a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 116,543 slaves, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,062,803 per year while the poor average 1,422, a ratio of 747 to 1.
Beat cops aren't named for the territory they patrol, foreign football clubs wave the First Masterian flag before every game, it is customary to begin the summer with a fasting ritual in which people eat nothing but kumquat smoothies, and weather reports simply advise Masterians to 'look outside'. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The First Master's national animal is the Gallifreyan Terrier, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Masterism.
The First Master is ranked 177,234th in the world and 18th in The Lexicon for Most Stationary, with 84.2845988356 days.
