The Republic of TPI5 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed population of 2.885 billion TPI5ians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 36.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient TPI5ian economy, worth 87.3 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 30,271 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TPI5's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

TPI5 is ranked 144,472^nd in the world and 3^rd in Peace10 for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 67.82 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
