The Ruthless Piratescape of The Xyhkorhen Combine is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Dark Lord with an iron fist, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, avant-garde cinema, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.857 billion Xyhkorhen Combineans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Banes Citadel. The average income tax rate is 3.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Xyhkorhen Combinean economy, worth a remarkable 2,829 trillion Khannies 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 Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 204,200 Khannies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion, political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, the studies of art and philosophy are banned, and most believe it doesn't hurt to embrace free trade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. The Xyhkorhen Combine's national animal is the Funkapotamus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Elder God Worship.

The Xyhkorhen Combine is ranked 52,734^th in the world and 3,038^th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,727.93 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
