The Republic of K 5 is a mid-sized, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 62 million K 5ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. The average income tax rate is 82.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case K 5ian economy, worth 500 billion candy cane gold bars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 8,066 candy cane gold bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Purchasing a can of Addison Cola requires a wheelbarrow of cash, toddlers are wielding machine guns in the name of national defense, citizens are only allowed to view government-approved TV shows, and swamplands and bogs have been put under quarantine. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. K 5's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

K 5 is ranked 332,736^th in the world and 10^th in Freyaria for Most Developed, scoring 39.43 on the Human Development Index.
