The Army Corps of Earexplodian V Corps is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Marechal DeGenius with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.833 billion Earexplodians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of South Cacophonia Military Garrison. The average income tax rate is 29.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Earexplodian economy, worth 312 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 a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. 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 53,626 Decibels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, the nation is weighing the price of victory following a nuclear strike, whales in captivity live in little more than glorified goldfish bowls, and politicians fear the otherworldly wrath of poorly made cheese. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Earexplodian V Corps's national animal is the Joeaveragian Pike, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Joeism.

Earexplodian V Corps is ranked 153,151^st in the world and 294^th in Earexplodian Armed Forces for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 37,753.02 Standard Monetary Units.
