The Armed Republic of DN 5 is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 827 million DN 5ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 9.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The DN 5ian economy, worth 55.9 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is 67,547 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Minorities play dumb to get more welfare payments, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, a dictator has seized power and outlawed elections, and the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. DN 5's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

DN 5 is ranked 230,782^nd in the world and 7^th in Cubers DN for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 212.61 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
