The Taker and McCool of Extopiopolis is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Undertaker with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 30.61 billion Druids have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tombstone. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Druid economy, worth a remarkable 8,586 trillion Right Hooks 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 an amazing 280,503 Right Hooks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lottery winners spend most of their money on security, visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub, visitors often mistake the toiletplex at music festivals for the main stage, and trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Extopiopolis's national animal is the Old School, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Ministry of Darkness.

Extopiopolis is ranked 287,950th in the world and 27th in Phoenix Championship Wrestling for Most Primitive, scoring -547.84 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
