The Federation of AxeCapital is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Franklin Underwood with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, smutty television, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 2.494 billion Axelians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of AxeCapital. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Axelian economy, worth 481 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 193,092 Dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,020,369 per year while the poor average 19,405, a ratio of 52.6 to 1.

Money always talks but the taboo subject of death just brings silence, meteorologists are instantly recognizable from their luxury cars and jewelry, government officials are phoning up good-looking celebrities to say they want to breed with them, and Members of Parliament operate under a PAYE scheme. Crime is totally unknown. AxeCapital's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

AxeCapital is ranked 14,515^th in the world and 131^st in 10000 Islands for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 25,401 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
