Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Feudal Estate of Lord Xenophon is a colossal, devout nation, ruled by Lord Xenophon with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 7.132 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous government is mainly concerned with Defence, although Education and Public Transport are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Xenolith. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The upper class have been throwing riots after hunting was recently banned, gun ownership is compulsory, skateparks can be found in every city, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lord Xenophon's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the xenomid.

Lord Xenophon is ranked 61st in Equilism and 68,755th in the world for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -2 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
