The Avian Confederation of Axdel is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Ñami Xuli Alaya with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, otherworldly petting zoo, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 21.812 billion Axdelians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asceña. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Axdelian economy, worth a remarkable 5,962 trillion Red Feathers 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 273,343 Red Feathers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk, the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, the government subsidizes those who produce the worst results, and the dance skills of Ñami Xuli Alaya are said to be almost as subversive as their politics. Crime is totally unknown. Axdel's national animal is the Colour Chicken, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lhaoikhism.

Axdel is ranked 698^th in the world and 17^th in The East Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 102.19 average smiles per day.
