The Holy Lands of Dexter III is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Kored Asha Al Mirad with an even hand, and renowned for its restrictive gun laws. Its compassionate population of 1.599 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Religion & Spirituality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dexter City. The average income tax rate is 71%, and even higher for the wealthy. A small private sector is dominated by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry.

The institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced, Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed, the upper class have been throwing riots after hunting was recently banned, and the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dexter III's national animal is the Ram, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Dexterism, and its currency is the Dexter Coin.

Dexter III is ranked 42nd in England and 87,640th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
