The Colony of Excodia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 23.092 billion Excodians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, although Law & Order, Defense, and Education are also considered important, while Social Policy and Administration receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.8%.

The all-consuming Excodian economy, worth a remarkable 1,264 trillion US dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 54,761 US dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, all mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, and murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Excodia's national animal is the Wampa, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Excodia is ranked 109,122^nd in the world and 1^st in Atlas Puppets for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,003.01 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
