The State of Excis is a gargantuan, genial nation, notable for its compulsory vegetarianism, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 16.602 billion Excisians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Social Policy, and Welfare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Excisian economy, worth 64.2 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 3,867 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prudishness is on the way out, the military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan, the government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, and the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Excis's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Excis is ranked 60,117^th in the world and 1^st in Ashmore for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.77 law-abiding acts per hour.
