The People's Republic of Fifthtopia is a large, genial nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 159 million fifth guys are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 74.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Fifthtopian economy, worth 5.46 trillion shŵms a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 34,350 shŵms, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, the mouth-frothing fifth guy can be confused for a rabid yellow dragon, and there's some really clean windows in Fifthtopian houses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fifthtopia's national animal is the yellow dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Fifthtopia is ranked 317,308^th in the world and 22^nd in Celtic Nations for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -9.7 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
