The Republic of Ekrixia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Alexander Losofi with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.219 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 80.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ekrixian economy, worth 340 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 105,669 Krixes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

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", lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs, and the country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state. 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 8,382^nd in the world and 230^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 56.53 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
