The Republic of Exorta is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its aversion to nipples, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 629 million Exortans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Exortian. The average income tax rate is 47.3%.

The powerhouse Exortan economy, worth 46.4 trillion Exorts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,726 Exorts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

The combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, child adoption by homosexual couples has been outlawed, almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, and explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Exorta's national animal is the Car Cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Exorta is ranked 221,921^st in the world and 59^th in Midnight Vale for Largest Populations, with 629 million capita.
