The Hawaii of 5-0 is a titanic, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 10.754 billion 5-0ians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.4%.

The strong 5-0ian economy, worth 528 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 49,145 dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 275,365 per year while the poor average 4,352, a ratio of 63.3 to 1.

A well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, genetic researchers have been expelled, and public urination is on the increase. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. 5-0's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

5-0 is ranked 229,275^th in the world and 4^th in New Year for Nicest Citizens, with 11.33 average smiles per day.
