The Federation of Xiggor is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Hari Ani Seldon with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.346 billion Xiggorians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trantor. The average income tax rate is 40.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Xiggorian economy, worth 141 trillion Obelisks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 105,421 Obelisks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Hari Ani Seldon's throne, professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials, diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, and foreign leaders are advising that Hari Ani Seldon's letters must have gotten lost in the mail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Xiggor's national animal is the Obscurus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Freedom of Religion.

Xiggor is ranked 208,367^th in the world and 7,930^th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -3.74 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
