The Republic of Boron 5 is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Neil Taylor with a fair hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 10.423 billion Boron 5ians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Denver. The average income tax rate is 25.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Boron 5ian economy, worth 262 trillion baht a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,198 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Neil Taylor is a silly poophead, and Neil Taylor has just been declared ruler of Boron 5 in an international press conference. Crime is almost non-existent. Boron 5's national animal is the kangaroo, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Boron 5 is ranked 237,884^th in the world and 9^th in Elements for Highest Poor Incomes, with 17,425.9 Standard Monetary Units.
