The Commonwealth of Xatin is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its vat-grown people, unlimited-speed roads, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 648 million Xatinians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Education, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Toqapkal. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Xatinian economy, worth 87.6 trillion Lejus a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 135,171 Lejus, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 837,310 per year while the poor average 9,414, a ratio of 88.9 to 1.

Elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, people who do not complete their community service are sentenced to more community service, children asking questions about science are referred to relevant sections in religious texts, and new treatments are rejected if they cannot be explained using only one-syllable words. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Xatin's national animal is the Cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Xatin is ranked 116,624^th in the world and 5,907^th in The North Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 810.75 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
