The Most Serene Republic of Exclamation USA is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dr Cinnamon J Scudworth with an iron fist, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.442 billion Exclamationians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Clone High. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.4%.

The all-consuming Exclamationian economy, worth a remarkable 1,374 trillion spices a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 120,092 spices, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 577,997 per year while the poor average 14,538, a ratio of 39.8 to 1.

The government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, children wondering what happens to pets after they die are shown where the compost heap is, euthanasia is illegal, and all alcohol is banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Exclamation USA's national animal is the hunkeycorn, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Exclamation USA is ranked 197,592^nd in the world and 24^th in Union of Allied Planets for Safest, scoring 46.57 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
