The Axempar of Great Ignesia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Lexoskhena with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, unlimited-speed roads, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.241 billion Ignesians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vrezar Vimicia. The average income tax rate is 70.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ignesian economy, worth 195 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 reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 157,397 nixes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Condos feature wall-mounted cages containing endangered animals, imitation is the sincerest form of felony, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, and the Messiah (formerly known as Brian) is a mayoral candidate. 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 23,076^th in the world and 908^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 88 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
