The Incorporated States of Entropy Squad V is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, enslaved workforce, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.171 billion Entropy Squad Vians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Entropy Squad Vian economy, worth 368 trillion Entropies 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Trout Farming, 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 116,283 Entropies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, billions of Entropies are spent to take high-quality photos of the Soul Nebula, Entropy Squad Vian politicians are often described as having more style than substance, and the government spares every expense for national defence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Entropy Squad V's national animal is the Soul, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Entropy Squad V is ranked 4,758th in the world and 41st in eta for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 11,795.29 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
