The Protectorate of Common5 is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Hans-Adam with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, compulsory vegetarianism, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed population of 7.066 billion Common5ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vaduz. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Common5ian economy, worth 879 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 124,489 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Worried-looking neonatal nurses are being deployed in place of SWAT teams during dangerous drug busts, water fights now end with thousands dead, the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, and traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Common5's national animal is the leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Roman-Catholic.

Common5 is ranked 22,351^st in the world and 2^nd in Common Storage for Most Corrupt Governments, with 92.44 kickbacks per hour.
