The Incorporated States of Excala is a large, efficient nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 151 million Excalans 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 minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Spirituality, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.6%.

The very strong Excalan economy, worth 8.95 trillion Kirns a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 59,260 Kirns, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 228,501 per year while the poor average 10,564, a ratio of 21.6 to 1.

The government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, military spending recently hit a new high, music award shows include surprise polygraph segments, and battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Excala's national animal is the Crocidile.

Excala is ranked 314,096^th in the world and 6^th in Lyceni for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -6.32 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
