The Oversight Nation of Axixican Colonial Command is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Colonel KFC Sanders with an even hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 7.072 billion Colonials have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Command HQ. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Colonial economy, worth a remarkable 1,213 trillion Colonial Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 171,549 Colonial Pesos, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 843,873 per year while the poor average 19,914, a ratio of 42.4 to 1.

Nearby bird nests prompt wind turbine shutdowns, robots can only dream of electric sheep and living a long happy life, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, and citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Axixican Colonial Command's national animal is the Seagulls, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Orthodox Humanistic Secularism.

Axixican Colonial Command is ranked 50,297^th in the world and 13^th in The Dudlands for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 20,236.8 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
