The Cymdōm of Saexeland and Gymbria is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Cynnōg Gwenðoleu III with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.424 billion Sǣxon 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 52.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Sӕxishe economy, worth 73.7 trillion Cynogryþs 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 a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. 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 51,736 Cynogryþs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is more interested in identifying problems than fixing them, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, Saexeland and Gymbria City spends billions upgrading public transport, and children are raised bilingual from an early age. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Saexeland and Gymbria's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is State Secularism.

Saexeland and Gymbria is ranked 241,678^th in the world and 879^th in Europeia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 24,678.08 Standard Monetary Units.
