The Republic of R5-D4 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its burgeoning falcon population. The hard-working, cynical population of 4.67 billion R5-D4ians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.7%.

The very strong R5-D4ian economy, worth 254 trillion lire a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 54,405 lire, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 186,652 per year while the poor average 11,638, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem. R5-D4's national animal is the falcon.

R5-D4 is ranked 164,571^st in the world and 6^th in Monarchist and Democratic Alliance for Most Patriotic, with 7.65 flags saluted per person per day.
