The Democratic States of Axcalen is a small, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 23 million Axcalenians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 20.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Axcalenian economy, worth 1.07 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,383 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Big Agriculture has the government by the nuts, billions are being spent towards constructing the "Great Barrier Reef of Axcalen", cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, and the nation's democracy attracts huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Axcalen's national animal is the red tail hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Axcalen is ranked 76,568^th in the world and 22^nd in The United Binturong Islands for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 2,727.61 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
