The Graveyards of S5 is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 5.38 billion S5ians 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 medium-sized, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Public Transport. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.7%.

The strong S5ian economy, worth 248 trillion coins a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 46,181 coins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 313,979 per year while the poor average 2,481, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. S5's national animal is the hamster.

S5 is ranked 184,187^th in the world and 1^st in Two Letter for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 910.88 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
