The People's Republic of Fifthtopia is a large, cultured nation, notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 123 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 Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 74.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Fifthtopian economy, worth 4.27 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 and Tourism. Average income is 34,712 shŵms, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Colleges adhere to rigid ethnic quotas for admissions, employees who skip lunch to avoid sub-par cafeteria food risk getting fired, the weather in Fifthtopia City is always 'pigeons with a chance of droppings', and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. 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 45,542^nd in the world and 7^th in Celtic Nations for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,196.51 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
