The Republic of Aksona is a large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 140 million Aksons hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 43.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Aksonan economy, worth 9.13 trillion Aksona Kroner a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 65,240 Aksona Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

According to the latest national census as many as two-thirds of the respondents possibly consider 'violet' their favorite color, heartbroken parents are urged to "smile for the camera", the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, and 'Totally Not Partisan News' is a line item on the government budget. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aksona's national animal is the Tailwood Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aksona is ranked 259,152^nd in the world and 407^th in Starlight for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 1.75 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
