The Free Land of Alayxis is a massive, genial nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.329 billion Alayxisians 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 enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 73.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Alayxisian economy, worth 84.0 trillion axids 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 63,239 axids, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, the national census includes an opt-in to join the government-run dating service, the government encourages conflict abroad to increase arms sales, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alayxis's national animal is the Cavy, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alayxis is ranked 73,944^th in the world and 1,876^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.99 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
