The Avian Federation of Axdel is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Cristian Alvarado with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, soft-spoken computers, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.952 billion Axdelians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asceña. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Axdelian economy, worth a remarkable 2,120 trillion Red Feathers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 213,059 Red Feathers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines, an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, and the government is avowedly secular. Crime is totally unknown. Axdel's national animal is the Colour Chicken, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Feather Brushing.

Axdel is ranked 2,963^rd in the world and 94^th in The East Pacific for Best Weather, with 390 Meters Of Sunlight.
