District 5 is built along a number of rivers, and its entire industry is based on the dams built on these rivers. Similarly to District 7, it is commonly seen as one of the more peaceful districts due to its relative isolation and beautiful scenery. It has strong diplomatic ties to District 3, District 6, and District 8.

Settlements
District 5 has seen very little urbanization, with much of its area being located within forests, much like District 7. A number of rivers run through the district, which is integral to the stability of their industry. Approximately 10% of its population reside within one of the four cities, while the remainder reside in small towns.
