The Republic of Xzfxjz is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.27 billion Xzfxjzians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Xzfxjzian economy, worth 220 trillion xfjzes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 97,007 xfjzes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government is attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector, arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated, a shipwreck is everyone's fault but the captain's, and the national defense strategy is a little floppy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xzfxjz's national animal is the xfjz, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Xzfxjz is ranked 267,350^th in the world and 482^nd in Two for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 40.13 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
