The Empire of The Golden 5 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Anubis with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, prohibition of alcohol, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 10.237 billion Followers are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thebes. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76.6%.

The Golden 5ian economy, worth 723 trillion gold pieces a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 70,721 gold pieces, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 374,311 per year while the poor average 7,083, a ratio of 52.8 to 1.

The government hopes that Federation janitors overhear all of the good gossip, military advisors frequently remind San Vitenzan farmers that they have to pull the pin on a grenade before throwing it, the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, and no bunny expects the Golden 5ian rabbit coalition. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Golden 5's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Fiveism.

The Golden 5 is ranked 55,165th in the world and 11th in Scarif for Most Stationary, with 796.79076088692 days.
