The Empire of Extinctia is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 968 million Extinctians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trilozhia. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Extinctian economy, worth 30.6 trillion trilos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 31,600 trilos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children aren't allowed to chew their pencils until they get home from school, parents often leave their kids in the car while they attend mindfulness meditation sessions, student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned trilobiteball fields, and Extinctia has designated Trilozhia as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Extinctia's national animal is the trilobite, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Extinctia is ranked 103,169^th in the world and 197^th in Edoca for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,368.87 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
