The Republic of Ar5 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its public floggings, ban on automobiles, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.434 billion Ar5ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 48.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Ar5ian economy, worth 86.0 trillion uiwuefhiues a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,945 uiwuefhiues, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A major religion has been named as Ar5's national religion, Leader's perky ego is the talk of the town, edutainment video games are taking Ar5's students to the next level, and lifeguards are more concerned with watching for sharks than struggling swimmers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ar5's national animal is the wefuhiwuefu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ar5 is ranked 271,639^th in the world and 10,052^nd in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -10.04 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
