The Great and glorious Empire of The Grand Fifth Imperium is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Mr President with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, sprawling nuclear power plants, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.021 billion readin writin fightin gunsightin Yanks are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Washington DC. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 65.8%.

The frighteningly efficient free economy, worth 560 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 111,587 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's exceedingly polite children have often been referred to as "robots" by international media, criminals are put to death while cuddling their favourite teddy bear, several politicians have resigned following clarifications that "bribe" and "donation" are not actually synonyms, and the nation's latest batch of politicians include internet comedians, an alleged serial killer, and a highly trained eagle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Grand Fifth Imperium's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is my First Amendment rights.

The Grand Fifth Imperium is ranked 29,616^th in the world and 2^nd in Greater Temecula for Largest Black Market, with 81.1 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
