Location: The International Radiated Wasteland

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Kingdom of Zxortanites is a massive, safe nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed population of 3.95 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as the Environment and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zxortanites City. The average income tax rate is 26%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The nation has recently been attributed to the funding of terrorist organisations, the nation is completely gun-free, "The Daily Sacrifice" is a routine segment of morning news shows, and tombstones are ten feet high to accommodate the names of inhabitants. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zxortanites's national animal is the wingless eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the zxort.

Zxortanites is ranked 4th in The International Radiated Wasteland and 127,741st in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with -8 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
