The Dominion of Xanistan is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, ubiquitous missile silos, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 449 million Xanistani live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xantantinople. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Xanistani economy, worth 47.3 trillion karats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 105,437 karats, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 516,129 per year while the poor average 12,356, a ratio of 41.8 to 1.

Scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war, preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists, and corporations claim the third ounce of any metal traded in a wicker-cone on the Sunday of a full moon as a charitable expense. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Xanistan's national animal is the Draakon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Xanistan is ranked 60,042^nd in the world and 1,365^th in the South Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 513.9 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
