The Lip💋Service Democracy of Axixic is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by First Citizen Snake Plisken with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, state-planned economy, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 19.793 billion Axixitecos are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tlayacapan. The average income tax rate is 99.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Axixiteco economy, worth a remarkable 6,077 trillion Axixican Pesos 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, quite specialized black market in Retail, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. 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 307,063 Axixican Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime, squeaky high prepubescent voices recite the patriotic poem "Hail to The Leader!" before each meal, bemused schoolkids colour in their favourite quadratic equations with crayons, and hotels often double as quarantine zones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Axixic's national animal is the Blue Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Amazingly Awesome Awesomenessism.

Axixic is ranked 69,631^st in the world and 3,431^st in Lazarus for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 3,989.56 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
