The Autocratic Republic of Vexilia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Teethy Phoenix with an iron fist, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, infamous sell-swords, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.934 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 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Vexilian economy, worth a remarkable 2,903 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, 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 365,945 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children who can't memorize their multiplication tables are sent to the mines, people think "siege mentality" is a positive trait, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, and bilingual Vexilians are viewed with suspicion. 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 208,683^rd in the world and 10,140^th in The North Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 1.9 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
