The Allied States of Exce Our is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.271 billion Exce Ourians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 81.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Exce Ourian economy, worth a remarkable 1,068 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 129,160 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, contrails and thunderous rumbles have returned to the skies above, and nocturnal light pollution is mostly blue. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Exce Our's national animal is the eagle.

Exce Our is ranked 36,841^st in the world and 2^nd in Bank for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 24,875.71 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
