The Federal Republic of Exerceitus is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 366 million Ceitians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cetus. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Exerceitusian economy, worth 36.1 trillion Certian Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 98,577 Certian Marks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 453,772 per year while the poor average 12,969, a ratio of 35.0 to 1.

Songs in 4/4 time are simply too common for the musical cognoscenti, a cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, the national security service are a bunch of crooks, and people believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Exerceitus's national animal is the Cetan Eagle.

Exerceitus is ranked 116,783^rd in the world and 685^th in Europe for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 2,091.88 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
