The Incorporated States of Entropy Squad V is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 3.134 billion Entropy Squad Vians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 67.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Entropy Squad Vian economy, worth 353 trillion Entropies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,807 Entropies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

A video of Leader wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news, scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war, petting zoos have loose fingers strewn about, and translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very 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 51,392nd in the world and 321st in eta for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 67.82 Effective Tax Rate.
