The Manhattanite Protectorate of Dextremmika is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 18.683 billion Dextremmikans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny government prioritizes Industry, with Education, Defense, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Dextremmikan economy, worth a remarkable 2,070 trillion titanium legoes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 110,807 titanium legoes, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Euthanasia is legal, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, and religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Dextremmika's national animal is the rebellion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Dextremmika is ranked 13,074^th in the world and 659^th in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 11,169.06 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
