The Autocratic State of Vexilia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Teethy Phoenix with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, complete lack of prisons, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.851 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 92.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vexilian economy, worth 941 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, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 244,420 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Midnight raids drag couples from their homes in the name of decency, they say insanity is torturing the same citizens over and over again and expecting a different result, the government burgles the houses of holidaying citizens, and there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality. 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 1,596^th in the world and 83^rd in The North Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 171,864.34 Standard Monetary Units.
