The Imperial Federation of Extorious is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by God Emporer Elias Voss with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, unlimited-speed roads, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.587 billion Extorions are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, 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 Aurelis. The average income tax rate is 93.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Extoriousian economy, worth a remarkable 1,959 trillion Exons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 185,110 Exons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Top gamblers bet against seedy hoopers, the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, Extorions ask their doctors whether chili peppers are right for them, and the Extoriousian government is the world's largest NGO. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Extorious's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Humanism.

Extorious is ranked 317,911^th in the world and 10^th in Northern Sea for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -9.88 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
