The Oppressed Peoples of 5986 is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 590 million Fifty nines are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 58.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish 5986ian economy, worth 10.3 trillion Moneis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Trout Farming, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 17,537 Moneis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Navy has outraged the international community by sinking a boatload of refugees to prevent them reaching the shore, the nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners, the fattest folk in 5986 look to be the happiest ones, and the nation's ambassadors often conduct their business in jail cells. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 5986's national animal is the Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

5986 is ranked 94,845^th in the world and 2,182^nd in The North Pacific for Most Pacifist, with 80.82 cheeks turned per day.
