The Republic of Eagle 5 is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 1.63 billion Eagle 5ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 41.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Eagle 5ian economy, worth 14.0 trillion dollars 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. 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 8,588 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eagle 5's national animal is the eagle.
Eagle 5 is ranked 89,805th in the world and 1st in Rhowec for Most Corrupt Governments, with 19.57 kickbacks per hour.
