The Autocratic Republic of Vexilia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Teethy Phoenix with an iron fist, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, public floggings, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.974 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 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Vexilian economy, worth a remarkable 2,908 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, 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 364,802 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School uniforms are compulsory, nudity is frowned upon, shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, and tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests. 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 1,037^th in the world and 40^th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 364,802.1 Standard Monetary Units.
