The Elective Monarchy of PP Exdendus is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Baldwin Exdendus with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.952 billion Mavericks are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Exdendus. The average income tax rate is 80.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient PP Exdendusian economy, worth 143 trillion denars 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, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Basket Weaving. 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 48,555 denars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

"Mad Max: Returning Again to Barrydrome" is this year's unexpected summer blockbuster, the police are destroying all photographic evidence of their own existence, citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, and trespassers entering Emperor Baldwin Exdendus's office are immediately vaporized. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PP Exdendus's national animal is the Jonah Lee, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Church of the Found City.

PP Exdendus is ranked 83,757^th in the world and 5^th in Thule Alba for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 13,372.68 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
