The Most Earexplodian Realm of Ear Exploder 9000 is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Joseph Average XVIII with an iron fist, and notable for its digital currency, flagrant waste-dumping, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 10.958 billion Earexplodians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cacophonia. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Earexplodian economy, worth a remarkable 3,483 trillion decibels 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 an amazing 317,881 decibels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Nuclear physics is the most popular course at university, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, and guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ear Exploder 9000's national animal is the Joeaveragian Pike, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Joeism.

Ear Exploder 9000 is ranked 2,582nd in the world and 3rd in Refugia for Highest Average Incomes, with 317,881.5 Standard Monetary Units.
