The United Kingdom of Axefore is a small, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic population of 45 million Axians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 14.7%.

The Axian economy, worth 1.59 trillion Golden Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is 35,427 Golden Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, teens graduate from front of house retail to the frontlines of war, and the death penalty has been reintroduced. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Axefore's national animal is the Killer Hornet, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Axefore is ranked 77,112^th in the world and 37^th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Fattest Citizens, with 12.16 Obesity Rate.
