The Free Democratic Federation of Xamery is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Xarian with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 13.716 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maxel-Stad. The average income tax rate is 99%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

All recreational drugs are legal, the people are furious with the government for allowing citizens to be executed for petty crimes in foreign countries, Coco the Clown has been elected to the nation's parliament, and citizens must pay to enjoy Xamery's pristine beaches. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xamery's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Xeura.

Xamery is ranked 99th in Nederland and 94,688th in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring -373 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
