“pro patria moriemur”

Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Federal Republic of Exelandia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Santiago Videla with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 5.664 billion Exelandeses are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ciudad De Exelandia. The average income tax rate is 90.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Exelandian economy, worth 574 trillion Dólar exelandeses a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,367 Dólar exelandeses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Workers for the environmental protection agency are patted down for tartar sauce every morning, nine out of ten citizens of Exelandia answered 'nuclear safety inspector' when asked their occupation, cash-strapped politicians frequently host bake sales to fund their campaigns, and only those who apply can study applied maths. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Exelandia's national animal is the buitre leonado, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ateismo.

Exelandia is ranked 216,513^th in the world and 1,074^th in Europe for Nudest, with 99.25 cheeks per square mile.
