The Armed Republic of Anaxphonia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Anaxphone with an even hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 12.376 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Solonopolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 59%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Gambling industries.

A ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, the new 'Things We Stole From Other Countries' exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities is a hit, and all streets are privately owned toll roads. Crime is totally unknown. Anaxphonia's national animal is the Red-eared Slider, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Hellenismos, and its currency is the Deme.

Anaxphonia is ranked 8th in Atheosia and 68,750th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 17 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
