Location: the Rejected Realms

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Despotic Union of Oxirix is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Xall with an even hand, and notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 21.962 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt individuals is mainly concerned with Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Suntau. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

School uniforms are compulsory, Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, movies and computer games are strictly censored for violence, and Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. Oxirix's national animal is the Sphynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Individualism, and its currency is the Eucastrian Drachma.

Oxirix is ranked 3,531st in the Rejected Realms and 129,119th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring -21 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
