The Autocratic Republic of Vexilia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Teethy Phoenix with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.276 billion Vexilians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Phoenix. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Vexilian economy, worth a remarkable 5,104 trillion Pounds 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. 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 357,530 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago, the government-sponsored autobiography 'A President Teethy Phoenix For All Seasons' has only been bought by the most loyal of President Teethy Phoenix's supporters, aggravated apostrophe abusers are admonished and assaulted, and the practice of capital punishment proves divisive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vexilia's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Vexilia is ranked 305,197^th in the world and 8,859^th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -509.5 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
