The Eye of Xaishetor is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Iris with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, triple-decker prams, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.725 billion Xaishetorians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oculus. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Xaishetorian economy, worth 553 trillion Pupils 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 an amazing 203,253 Pupils, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 653,733 per year while the poor average 47,864, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.

Rocket boots and thermal detonators have become standard-issue military gear, the nation's soldiers often believe they're in the Air Force, 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, and kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Xaishetor's national animal is the Beholder, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Xaishetor is ranked 271,953rd in the world and 3rd in Xaishetorian Allies for Safest, scoring 7.07 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
