“Long live King Victor III!”

The Altanian Kingdom of Xandrix is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by HRM King Victor III with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 1.379 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Religion & Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Runate. The average income tax rate is 91%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales industries.

Citizens are forced to donate blood once every three months, abortions are carried out secretly in shady backstreet clinics, euthanasia is illegal, and Anglican Christianity has been named as Xandrix's national religion. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xandrix's national animal is the politician, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Anglican Christianity, and its currency is the markon.

Xandrix is ranked 2nd in the region and 13,042nd in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
