The Kingdom of Excipendia is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, fear of technology, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 785 million Excipendians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Viricampis City. The average income tax rate is 16.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Excipendian economy, worth 32.4 trillion Pendarks a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,264 Pendarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Owning a really cute pet is grounds for immediate investigation, the optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem", streakers swamp all public events in order to bare it all, and producers insist that movie stars wear crash helmets in every scene. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Excipendia's national animal is the Excipendian Wolf.

Excipendia is ranked 26,043^rd in the world and 68^th in Thaecia for Safest, scoring 111.06 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
