The Dáxlamatarian Lýderal Parish of Daxlamia is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Lýderis Bradford John with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, rampant corporate plagiarism, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.501 billion Evergreen Guards are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dáxlantinople. The average income tax rate is 91.5%.

The strong Daxlamian economy, worth 569 trillion Dáxlamic Marks 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 a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. 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 87,608 Dáxlamic Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

A blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details, shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, and excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daxlamia's national animal is the Piping Plover, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dáxlam.

Daxlamia is ranked 75,461st in the world and 76th in Declansburg for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,319.61 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
