The Avian Confederation of Axdel is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Ñami Xuli Alaya with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 16.596 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, although Administration, Environment, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asceña. The average income tax rate is 99.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Axdelian economy, worth a remarkable 3,980 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 highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 239,861 Red Feathers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bad punctuation has come to a full stop, Axdel has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world, builders across Axdel are blocked up with orders for new public loos, and royalist is the most offensive slur in the Axdelian language. 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 Feather Brushing.

Axdel is ranked 1,476^th in the world and 38^th in The East Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 4,260.89 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
