The Sword of the Kingdom of Excaliba is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Lord Protector Dirkesstrum with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, vat-grown people, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.994 billion Excalibans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calborea. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Excaliban economy, worth 426 trillion Olans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 32,815 Olans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lord Protector Dirkesstrum's recent "I have a dream that we will fight them by raking muck on the beaches" speech seems a little derivative to many, hundreds of sailors ride the good ship Lord Protector Dirkesstrum day after day, whales in captivity live in little more than glorified goldfish bowls, and glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Excaliba's national animal is the Serpent, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Misotheism.

Excaliba is ranked 86,832^nd in the world and 7^th in Fodlan for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,105.18 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
