The Republic of Effexor is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.109 billion Effexorians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 67.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Effexorian economy, worth 825 trillion bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,118 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

People are careful to avoid hyperbolising that they'd "rather die" than support Leader, corporations claim the third ounce of any metal traded in a wicker-cone on the Sunday of a full moon as a charitable expense, the urinary fragrance of seedier establishments is thankfully hidden by the smell of stale smoke, and citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Effexor's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Effexor is ranked 101,360th in the world and 1,262nd in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 425.96797043588 days.
