The Colony of X-Pac is a massive, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 1.426 billion X-Pacians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish X-Pacian economy, worth 37.3 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is 26,164 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and immigrant herding has become a national pastime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. X-Pac's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

X-Pac is ranked 102,202^nd in the world and 9^th in KAKISTOCRACY LEAGUE for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 864.73 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
