The Principality of Alpha five is a mammoth, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning Kitsune population. The hard-working population of 5.162 billion Alpha fiveans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 17.7%.

The Alpha fivean economy, worth 238 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 46,287 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, the government seizes all major gold finds, sex changes are routinely performed at Alpha five's hospitals, and the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists. Crime is relatively low. Alpha five's national animal is the Kitsune, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Alpha five is ranked 194,073^rd in the world and 3^rd in Airstrip One for Highest Average Incomes, with 46,287.81 Standard Monetary Units.
