The Republic of BCC 5 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, ritual sacrifices, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.887 billion BCC 5ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous government prioritizes Law & Order, with Administration, Education, and Defense also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 54.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The BCC 5ian economy, worth 165 trillion deniers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,613 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, metal detectors have been banned after a bottle cap caused a riot at the beach, the fattest folk in BCC 5 look to be the happiest ones, and the BCC 5ian Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BCC 5's national animal is the penguin.

BCC 5 is ranked 297,238^th in the world and 4,065^th in Suspicious for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -8.25 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
