The Republic of Nova Saltus of 5years is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President James Harrison with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 18.361 billion Nova Saltusans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gallatin. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient 5yearsian economy, worth a remarkable 4,071 trillion NSDS a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 221,722 NSDS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

The team in charge of creating a new writing system have spent months deciding whether or not to use serif or sans-serif characters, "Idol-Worship for the Apathetic" workshops are cancelled when no-one bothers to show up, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, and the freedom to be free is always just out of reach. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 5years's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secular.

5years is ranked 137,798th in the world and 5th in OIC for Most Stationary, with 221.98043432132 days.
