The Democratic Allied Republics of Extasia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Martial Nobel with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.075 billion Extasians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurasia. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Extasian economy, worth 330 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 159,234 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Black gold is looking more brown these days, surrealist houses shaped like mushrooms and volcanoes dominate the wealthiest neighborhoods, the clock on unfettered access to social media is ticking, and squeaky high prepubescent voices recite the patriotic poem "Hail to The Leader!" before each meal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Extasia's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Extasia is ranked 16,634^th in the world and 134^th in Europeia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 339.41 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
