The Republic of Ekrixia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Alexander Losofi with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.152 billion Ekrixians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Strebia. The average income tax rate is 80.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ekrixian economy, worth 338 trillion Krixes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,397 Krixes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's laws on image rights are amongst the strictest in the world, selling your granddad's clothes requires an incredible amount of paperwork, constipated disaster survivors are rapidly learning that MRE is short for "Meal Requiring Enemas", and lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ekrixia's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ekrixia is ranked 288,345^th in the world and 5,392^nd in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -20.05 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
