The Midknight Crusade of Exce Fon Jum is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Callian Exce with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, ritual sacrifices, and national health service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.203 billion Exce Fon Jumians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fonjum. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Exce Fon Jumian economy, worth 970 trillion Coins a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Woodchip Exports, Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 118,264 Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Men who wear pink are seen as dangerously unmanly, weighted heels are added to military boots to ensure diminutive celebrities meet minimum requirements, students who do not recite the national anthem each morning have to drop and give their teacher 50, and pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Exce Fon Jum's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Exce Fon Jum is ranked 284,577th in the world and 1st in TMO for Highest Food Quality, scoring 5.24 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
