The Empire of Axtopia is a small, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic population of 45 million Axtopians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 9.9%.

The Axtopian economy, worth 2.09 trillion Euros a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 46,364 Euros, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Axtopia's national animal is the Cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Axtopia is ranked 298,564^th in the world and 816^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -5.48 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
