The Federal Republic of Exerceitus is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 335 million Ceitians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cetus. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.3%.

The all-consuming Exerceitusian economy, worth 32.2 trillion Certian Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 96,206 Certian Marks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 434,878 per year while the poor average 13,082, a ratio of 33.2 to 1.

Ceitians incessantly needle their doctors for relief, the optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem", the government decides its policies by observing the flight of birds, and feeling like a winner comes at a price. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Exerceitus's national animal is the Cetan Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Exerceitus is ranked 120,010^th in the world and 467^th in Europe for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 3,175.75 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
