The Wait five minutes of Take Five is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Hugh Halt with an even hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 24.011 billion Take Fivers enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Waittown. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.3%.

The very strong Take Fivean economy, worth a remarkable 1,116 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 46,498 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 142,044 per year while the poor average 11,798, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, Hugh Halt has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw, and the government has adopted a more thrifty attitude to administrating the country's needs. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Take Five's national animal is the horse, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Waiting.

Take Five is ranked 154,302^nd in the world and 1^st in Kravorek for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,415.58 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
