The Axempar of Great Ignesia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Lexoskhena with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.368 billion Ignesians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vrezar Vimicia. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ignesian economy, worth 217 trillion nixes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 158,853 nixes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rumor has it that Lexoskhena has won three lotteries in a row, belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', vast amounts of energy are expended moving water to hilltop lakes, and balaclava manufacturers are held criminally culpable for bank heists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Great Ignesia's national animal is the exarivenil, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Nexarnism.

Great Ignesia is ranked 13,869^th in the world and 601^st in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 343.59 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
