The Republic of Alexm is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 693 million Alexmians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 24.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Alexmian economy, worth 45.8 trillion cashes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Gambling, Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 66,086 cashes , and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Unemployed judges can be found squatting in abandoned courthouses, casino tax breaks are even bigger than their jackpots, a little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass, and monochrome green ECO-A products adorn the supermarket shelves. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Alexm's national animal is the horse , which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Alexm is ranked 97,201^st in the world and 14^th in SCCTCRichard for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
