The Matriarchy of 5358 is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Nicholas Copernicus with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, complete lack of prisons, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.379 billion 5358ians 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 relatively small, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pieville. The average income tax rate is 15.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped 5358ian economy, worth 348 trillion francs a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,632 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Farting etiquette is taught in schools, there's a lot of babies crying for milk in the middle of the day, from the highest mountain to the deepest cave - one can always count on finding a good cell signal in 5358, and arbitration is mightier than the sword. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. 5358's national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheistic Existentialism.

5358 is ranked 53,400^th in the world and 1^st in 314159265358979323846264338327950 for Most Beautiful Environments, with 671.17 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
