The Autocratic Republic of Vexilia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Teethy Phoenix with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.68 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 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Vexilian economy, worth a remarkable 2,176 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, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 325,768 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Billions are being spent on a new island airport, torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, international trade can be a pain to deal with, and politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental. 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 1,224^th in the world and 59^th in The North Pacific for Most Secular, with 99.1 Atheism Rate.
