The Armed Republic of Explonadzia is a tiny, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 9 million Explonadzians 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 medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 38.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Explonadzian economy, worth 333 billion pounds a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,032 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail and military spending recently hit a new high.
