The Democratic States of New Xyroxes is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Zylon Kromak with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.369 billion New Xyroxesians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xyloth. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming New Xyroxesian economy, worth 152 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 111,428 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is in utter turmoil following the recent abolishment of the tax code, diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers, and drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Xyroxes's national animal is the BearSquirrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Pastafarianism.

New Xyroxes is ranked 9,223^rd in the world and 458^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 11,262.98 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
