The Empire of Aluxia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Kravos I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.55 billion Aluxians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 57.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Aluxian economy, worth 558 trillion Zemids a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 73,979 Zemids, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Aluxia City, the nation is now proudly cholera-free, the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, and murderers facing life in prison listen to long sermons on positive thinking. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aluxia's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Orthodox Christanity.

Aluxia is ranked 245,237^th in the world and 69^th in The Doldrums for Most Primitive, scoring -138.27 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
