The Republic of Klop5 is a large, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 161 million Klop5ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 47.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Klop5ian economy, worth 6.83 trillion baht a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 42,401 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Ministers browse Alright! magazine for fashion tips, shopkeepers use microscopes to verify the authenticity of banknotes, mandatory state-funded classes teach Libertarianism, and serial killers who are released early distribute death but not their seed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Klop5's national animal is the wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Klop5 is ranked 315,710th in the world and 6th in Union of Exotic Artwork Collectors for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -69.42 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
