The Republic of Exponential Function is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, ubiquitous missile silos, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.017 billion Exponential Functionians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 56.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Exponential Functionian economy, worth a remarkable 1,128 trillion numbers a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 140,730 numbers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Father-son fishing trips have been banned, compass sales have gone south, pulling weeds is seen as a threat to national security, and parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Exponential Function's national animal is the math, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Exponential Function is ranked 31,779th in the world and 368th in Giovanniland for Highest Poor Incomes, with 72,971.63 Standard Monetary Units.
