The Federation of Axelian is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by President Maxwell Axel Martinez with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 14.014 billion Axelianites have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Axelian City. The average income tax rate is 66.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Axelian economy, worth a remarkable 1,159 trillion Axelian Dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,707 Axelian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All the world's a stage for Axelian political theatrics, tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash, the world still seems flat to some people in space, and boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Axelian's national animal is the Jackal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Axelian is ranked 115,622^nd in the world and 4,180^th in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,302.32 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
