The X1 of X1 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by X1 with an iron fist, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, public floggings, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.843 billion X1 are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of X1. The average income tax rate is 88.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient x1 economy, worth a remarkable 4,432 trillion X1s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 194,037 X1s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

There has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, eating kids as food has been enshrined in law, trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, and Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. X1's national animal is the X1, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is X1.

X1 is ranked 5,600th in the world and 294th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 113.74 law-abiding acts per hour.
