The Sultanate of The Extinction is a colossal, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.384 billion Extinctionians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.4%.

The strong Extinctionian economy, worth 225 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 51,524 Delta Eagles, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government regrets to say that it is forced to make cuts to citizens, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, the dartboard at the Extinctionian Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of Leader's face, and builders spend more time negotiating "tasteful architecture" than on actual construction. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Extinction's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Extinction is ranked 186,849^th in the world and 8^th in Jamestown for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 307.74 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
