The Queendom of TCAM5 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, disturbing lack of elderly people, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.376 billion TCAM5ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient TCAM5ian economy, worth 793 trillion Pesos 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 147,546 Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has granted that two plus two makes four, the country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions, reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, and the dartboard at the TCAM5ian Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of Leader's face. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TCAM5's national animal is the Scorpion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

TCAM5 is ranked 15,381st in the world and 868th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 8,158.18 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
