The Republic of Da 5 is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.502 billion Da 5ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Da 5ian economy, worth 252 trillion Kkoreas 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. 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 an impressive 100,919 Kkoreas , and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The term cold case has taken on a very literal meaning, the men in trenchcoats hanging around playgrounds are actually police officers, the nation has always been at war with Bigtopia, and billions of Kkoreas are being blown on orbital weapons development. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Da 5's national animal is the Me, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Da 5 is ranked 223,054^th in the world and 1,028^th in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.27 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
