The Army Corps of Earexplodian X Corps is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Marechal Marshall with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 5.45 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 medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.9%.

The Earexplodian economy, worth 250 trillion Decibels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,908 Decibels, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 185,296 per year while the poor average 7,594, a ratio of 24.4 to 1.

Legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, the government spends millions of Decibels every year prosecuting spammers, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, and being nicknamed "Orange Face" has done Marechal Marshall's credibility no favours. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Earexplodian X 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 X Corps is ranked 157,448^th in the world and 84^th in Earexplodian Armed Forces for Safest, scoring 58.77 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
