The Incorporated States of Exo-Proton Dynamics is a large, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 186 million employees are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Environment receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Corporate economy, worth 22.1 trillion credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 119,025 credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 968,713 per year while the poor average 3,197, a ratio of 302 to 1.

Vile black smog from coal power plants has enveloped several major urban centres, punk rockers smash it up and then clean it up, barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the Exo-Proton Dynamics City Natural History Museum, and the government is encouraging violence on television. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Exo-Proton Dynamics's national animal is the martian, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Exo-Proton Dynamics is ranked 30,004^th in the world and 210^th in the South Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 27,637.91 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
