The Republic of Xzxzj is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its parental licensing program, punitive income tax rates, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 2.062 billion Xzxzjians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 52.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Xzxzjian economy, worth 194 trillion xjzfs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,380 xjzfs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Children fear compulsory visits to their spiritual advisors more than the dentist, people often get liposuction to reduce their air fares, people think "siege mentality" is a positive trait, and Leader will only ring up foreign leaders if they agree to reverse the charges. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xzxzj's national animal is the xjzf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Xzxzj is ranked 266,790^th in the world and 537^th in Two for Most Armed, with 0.17 weapons per person.
