The Autocratic State of Vexilia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Teethy Phoenix with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, avowedly heterosexual populace, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.756 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, 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 94.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Vexilian economy, worth a remarkable 1,268 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 266,771 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, government bureaucrats shut down teenage yard-raking businesses for being counter-revolutionary, maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords, and catcalling has been replaced by slut-shaming. 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 160,851^st in the world and 8,243^rd in The North Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 0.12 Average Smiles Per Day.
