The Republic of Extre is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Huan Pedro with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 19.71 billion Extreans 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Extremerida. The average income tax rate is 82.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Extrean economy, worth a remarkable 1,172 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 59,465 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting, criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat, light entertainment isn't dead, and atheists are heavily taxed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Extre's national animal is the European Roller, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Extre is ranked 76,734^th in the world and 3^rd in Corfu for Highest Poor Incomes, with 39,347.93 Standard Monetary Units.
