The Avian Confederation of Axdel is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Ñami Xuli Alaya with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 21.749 billion Axdelians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asceña. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Axdelian economy, worth a remarkable 5,936 trillion Red Feathers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 272,961 Red Feathers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomats miss flights while wandering Asceña Airport's endless art maze, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", it is said that the captain goes down with the ship but ecological protection goes up, and fraternities are rejoicing at government-subsidized partying. Crime is totally unknown. Axdel's national animal is the Colour Chicken, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lhaoikhism.

Axdel is ranked 308,487^th in the world and 4,107^th in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -17.4 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
