The Republic of Extorious is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Karlton Feerz with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.458 billion Extoriousians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Casarse. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Extoriousian economy, worth 737 trillion Corrows 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. 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 135,149 Corrows, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Frightened witnesses and seriously ill jurors wear the same handcuffs as the defendant, foreign leaders who don't applaud Karlton Feerz's speeches are regarded as enemies of Extorious, the relatives of suicide victims tend to be angry rather than sad, and travelers often bring empty plastic bottles on Air Extorious flights to avoid the pay lavatories. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Extorious's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Extorianism.

Extorious is ranked 170,058^th in the world and 46^th in 001 Alpha Prime for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 61.52 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
