The Elective Monarchy of PP Exdendus is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Baldwin Exdendus with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.035 billion Mavericks are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Exdendus. The average income tax rate is 80.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient PP Exdendusian economy, worth 147 trillion denars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 48,555 denars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

"Mad Max: Returning Again to Barrydrome" is this year's unexpected summer blockbuster, the police are destroying all photographic evidence of their own existence, citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, and trespassers entering Emperor Baldwin Exdendus's office are immediately vaporized. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PP Exdendus's national animal is the Jonah Lee, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Church of the Found City.

PP Exdendus is ranked 315,663^rd in the world and 12^th in Thule Alba for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 14.68 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
