The Archduchy of Aexalla is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its parental licensing program, prohibition of alcohol, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 24.517 billion Aexallans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sanguis. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aexallish economy, worth a remarkable 3,082 trillion Drokmyns a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized 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. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 125,711 Drokmyns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is under martial law, boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard, politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, and songs in 4/4 time are simply too common for the musical cognoscenti. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aexalla's national animal is the Kodiak Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aexalla is ranked 6,882^nd in the world and 2^nd in Arctic for Most Corrupt Governments, with 189.59 kickbacks per hour.
