The Republic of ARC Trooper 5 is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.489 billion ARC Trooper 5ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 31.7%.

The ARC Trooper 5ian economy, worth 71.7 trillion Credits a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,138 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

In the mighty jungle the lion once again sleeps tonight, politicians and casino owners who so much as wander into the same room are arrested on the spot, reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, and a speech a day keeps climate change away. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ARC Trooper 5's national animal is the Droid, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

ARC Trooper 5 is ranked 281,219^th in the world and 5^th in DreiZiG for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 36.69 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
