The Autocratic State of Vexilia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by El Presidente with an iron fist, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.298 billion Vexilians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Phoenix. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Vexilian economy, worth 244 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. 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 impressive 188,481 Pounds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 762,666 per year while the poor average 31,048, a ratio of 24.6 to 1.

Army rations are served on silver platters, citizens who become homeless are immediately executed, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, and families consisting of more than three people are forced to split up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vexilia's national animal is the Orca, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is The Government.

Vexilia is ranked 5,565^th in the world and 160^th in The North Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 31,082.45 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
