The Research State of Axolotlande is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Farranor with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.945 billion Axolotls are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lotl-Topia. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Axolotlandean economy, worth a remarkable 1,087 trillion Dollar-lotls a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,317 Dollar-lotls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Medical experts advise that those claiming to be medical experts are probably fraudsters, garden flower shows rarely smell of roses, no one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, and social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Axolotlande's national animal is the Axolotl, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Amphibism.

Axolotlande is ranked 126,963^rd in the world and 6,614^th in Osiris for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 9,593.01 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
