The Empire of Kommander Exo is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Military Joint Board with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, ritual sacrifices, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.011 billion Exoanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Administration, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ironclad Citadel. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Exoanian economy, worth 554 trillion Debt Units 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 impressive 138,241 Debt Units, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Those who investigate UFOs tend to wake up delirious on abandoned roads, player-submitted issues are printed just so they can be burned by [violet] (Kommander Exo has found 2 easter eggs), children who can't memorize their multiplication tables are sent to the mines, and protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Kommander Exo's national animal is the Pig, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Covenant of the Unbroken.

Kommander Exo is ranked 49,956^th in the world and 15^th in New Coalition of Nations for Most Developed, scoring 77.6 on the Human Development Index.
