The Autocratic Republic of Vexilia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Teethy Phoenix with an iron fist, and notable for its triple-decker prams, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.427 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 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Vexilian economy, worth a remarkable 3,095 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, 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 367,310 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Women complaining about lack of opportunity are told to "man up", professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials, the government is suspected of mass disappearing dissidents both at home and abroad, and cremation is compulsory for the deceased. 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 234^th in the world and 11^th in The North Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 326,295.49 Standard Monetary Units.
