The Republic of Charge 5 is a tiny, pleasant nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working population of 16 million Charge 5ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 15.0%.

The strong Charge 5ian economy, worth 829 billion monies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 51,868 monies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation is compulsory, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars. Crime is moderate. Charge 5's national animal is the money, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Charge 5 is ranked 199,723^rd in the world and 6^th in battery for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 296.16 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
