The Republic of McCarthyist V is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.181 billion McCarthyist Vians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.5%.

The very strong McCarthyist Vian economy, worth 82.1 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 69,546 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 231,477 per year while the poor average 15,570, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. McCarthyist V's national animal is the bald eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

McCarthyist V is ranked 275,715^th in the world and 1^st in The World Socialist Commonwealth for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 624.16 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
