The Empire of Xerithian Empire is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King Matthew with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.845 billion are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Law & Order receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Philos. The average income tax rate is 88%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Book Publishing and Beef-Based Agriculture.

The government pours millions of Zreks into rehabilitation programs annually, a government program is underway to revitalize Xerithian Empire's beaches, the study of medicine is popular throughout Xerithian Empire, and smoking is banned in public areas. Crime is totally unknown. Xerithian Empire's national animal is the Seahorse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Zrek.

Xerithian Empire is ranked 3,856th in The North Pacific and 90,417th in the world for Most Authoritarian, with 0.091 Stalins.
