The Federal Republic of Alaxia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Rae with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.625 billion Alaxians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bieno Beach. The average income tax rate is 91.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Alaxian economy, worth a remarkable 1,089 trillion Aliras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism. Average income is 86,297 Aliras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military information leaks are **REDACTED** by **REDACTED** in **REDACTED**, mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, a passport is literally priceless, and airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alaxia's national animal is the Pelican, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Alaxia is ranked 271,563^rd in the world and 191^st in Forest for Most Primitive, scoring -161.64 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
