The Space Israelites of Exodus in Space is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Moses with an iron fist, and remarkable for its lack of airports, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.608 billion Israeliteses 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Space Jerusalem. The average income tax rate is 80.1%.

The very strong Exodus in Spacean economy, worth 975 trillion Holy books 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 large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 77,357 Holy books, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Theatre may or may not be changing for the better but it is being changed for good, schoolyard sandboxes resemble ashtrays due to the large number of cigarette butts, young people suspect their parents might be a little bit stupid, and singing in public is only allowed if you are singing the praise of the Motherland. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Exodus in Space's national animal is the Quail, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Israel.

Exodus in Space is ranked 53,851st in the world and 2nd in The Galactic Empire of Britain for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,653.96 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
