The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 8.0%.

The strong Xhtian economy, worth 12.5 trillion letters a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 59,591 letters, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Xht's national animal is the 33, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Xht is ranked 283,694^th in the world and 1,757^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Black Market, with 58.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
