The Autocratic Republic of Vexilia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by President Teethy Phoenix with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, triple-decker prams, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 12.542 billion Vexilians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Phoenix. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Vexilian economy, worth a remarkable 4,495 trillion Pounds 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. 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 358,414 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, the military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, and citizens who don't recite the Pledge of Vexilia at least three times a day are placed on a terrorist watch-list. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vexilia's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Vexilia is ranked 275,320^th in the world and 13,191^st in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 2.36 Obesity Rate.
