The United Incorporated States of Laxoimia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Jonathan Bernhardt with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 12.583 billion Laxomese 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, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dellmoor. The average income tax rate is 76.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Laxoimian economy, worth a remarkable 2,837 trillion Laxoimia Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 225,497 Laxoimia Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People who have never eaten chicken are told it tastes a bit like crocodile, a third of Laxomese are e-certified CEOs, The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries, and body doubles and armed bodyguards escort witnesses to and from courtrooms. Crime is totally unknown. Laxoimia's national animal is the Laxoimia Flying Parrot Fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Christianity.

Laxoimia is ranked 4,717^th in the world and 230^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 118.16 law-abiding acts per hour.
