The Republic of Expensivia is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic population of 576 million Expensivians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Welfare, with Healthcare, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Industry isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 24.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Expensivian economy, worth 25.1 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,657 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Leader is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, unpackaged foodstuffs rot on store shelves, replacement organs are grown in vats, and tree farms across the nation are overrun by clipboard-wielding biologists. Crime is totally unknown. Expensivia's national animal is the addax, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Expensivia is ranked 259,481^st in the world and 1^st in Addax League for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.45 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
