The Dáxlamatarian Lýderal State of Daxlamia is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Lýderis Bradford John with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.207 billion Evergreen Guards are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dáxlantinople. The average income tax rate is 91.0%.
The strong Daxlamian economy, worth 538 trillion Dáxlamic Marks 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 a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. 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 86,801 Dáxlamic Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.
Foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best, citizens who don't recite the Pledge of Daxlamia at least three times a day are placed on a terrorist watch-list, police reduce their paperwork by refusing to arrest anyone, and priests roam the streets with child-catcher nets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daxlamia's national animal is the Piping Plover, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dáxlam.
Daxlamia is ranked 98,655th in the world and 46th in Declansburg for Most Extreme, scoring 23.78 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
