The Totalitarian State of Exteda is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Exteda's Paradise with an iron fist, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, rampant corporate plagiarism, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.593 billion Extedans 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 large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Olde Town. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Extedan economy, worth 189 trillion Exteda Francs 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, Tourism, Retail, and Cheese Exports. 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 impressive 118,669 Exteda Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Cat is a protected species, polling place volunteers are suddenly opening a huge number of offshore bank accounts, replacement organs are grown in vats, and the noble worker digs deep for his communist ideals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Exteda's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Loyalianity.

Exteda is ranked 30,788^th in the world and 19^th in KAISERREICH for Lowest Crime Rates, with 86.89 law-abiding acts per hour.
