The Commonwealth of Five Star is a very large, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning Card Shark population. The hard-working, devout population of 376 million Five Starians 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 relatively small government is effectively ruled by the Department of Spirituality, although Law & Order and Defense are also considered important, while Industry isn't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.2%.

The strong Five Starian economy, worth 21.9 trillion Cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 58,181 Cards, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, genetic researchers have been expelled, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and a signed affidavit from a prominent anti-corruption advocate declares that she is in fact a crook after all. Crime is relatively low. Five Star's national animal is the Card Shark.

Five Star is ranked 273,939^th in the world and 21^st in IxChange for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.21 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
