The Incorporated States of Exo-Proton Dynamics is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, enslaved workforce, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 215 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, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Environment receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Corporate economy, worth 26.4 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 122,780 credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,024,510 per year while the poor average 2,886, a ratio of 355 to 1.

A valid legal defense is 'dead men tell no tales', celebrity foodies are biting a huge chunk out of the government budget, light entertainment shows are light on actual entertainment, and the military is plagued with unethical researchers. 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 228,870^th in the world and 1,324^th in the South Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 295 billion Standard Monetary Units.
