The Protectorate of Common5 is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Hans-Adam with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, infamous sell-swords, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 12.228 billion Common5ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vaduz. The average income tax rate is 76.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Common5ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,717 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Retail, Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 140,462 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every day is laundry day, people are bored of easy crossword puzzles, residents are readily ratting out rats in restaurants, and even in the most hardened climate scientists break down at the sound of a single drop of rain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Common5's national animal is the leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Roman-Catholic.

Common5 is ranked 81,403^rd in the world and 4^th in Common Storage for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 2,567.32 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
