The Republic of FPC005 is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.786 billion FPC005ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 86.4%.

The frighteningly efficient FPC005ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,013 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 149,407 pounds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 560,486 per year while the poor average 27,833, a ratio of 20.1 to 1.

Gang members supplement their income by teaching at elementary schools, autopsies often involve only cursory examination, the government airlifts sacrificial lambs, and governors and mayors are back to begging for allowances from the nanny state. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. FPC005's national animal is the giraffe, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

FPC005 is ranked 113,225th in the world and 14th in Golden Acres for Highest Poor Incomes, with 27,833.16 Standard Monetary Units.
