The Republic of Xzxjf is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its public floggings, complete lack of prisons, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.26 billion Xzxjfians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Xzxjfian economy, worth 227 trillion xzjfs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 100,542 xzjfs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 327,047 per year while the poor average 23,287, a ratio of 14.0 to 1.

Surrealist houses shaped like mushrooms and volcanoes dominate the wealthiest neighborhoods, bicyclists are banned from major roads, the government maintains a Department of Skulduggery, and factory workers offered 20-hour shifts are expected to thank their bosses for the wonderful opportunity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xzxjf's national animal is the xzjf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Xzxjf is ranked 231,279th in the world and 1,950th in Two for Safest, scoring 19.88 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
