The Māst Ēaresprenġeles Rīċe of Ear Exploder 9000 is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Heáhcásere Joseph Average XVIII with an iron fist, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, complete lack of prisons, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.115 billion Earexplodians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Industry is also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cacophonia. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Earexplodian economy, worth a remarkable 3,558 trillion decibels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 320,117 decibels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Tourists are kicked out if they express interest in their national sport, billions of decibels are being blown on orbital weapons development, science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous, and the government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ear Exploder 9000's national animal is the Joeaveragian Pike, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Joeism.

Ear Exploder 9000 is ranked 2,542^nd in the world and 4^th in Refugia for Highest Average Incomes, with 320,117.02 Standard Monetary Units.
