The Holy Imperial Dominion of Exkrea is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme Benevolent Archon with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.635 billion Exkreans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Losægi. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Exkrean economy, worth 786 trillion Exkrean Credits a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 139,612 Exkrean Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, it is broadly agreed that tramp stamps are criminally undesirable, midnight raids drag couples from their homes in the name of decency, and hospitals are amongst the best-funded in the region. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Exkrea's national animal is the screech owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Good Harvest.

Exkrea is ranked 5,790^th in the world and 3^rd in Ancient Lands for Most Patriotic, with 75.37 flags saluted per person per day.
