The Republic of Xia Osom Eth Awska is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its daily referendums, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 9.079 billion Xia Osom Eth Awskans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.9%.
The thriving Xia Osom Eth Awskan economy, worth 581 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,058 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.6 times as much as the poorest.
Rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, Xia Osom Eth Awskan police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, and country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xia Osom Eth Awska's national animal is the cobra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Xia Osom Eth Awska is ranked 259,823rd in the world and 61st in Keep of Darkness XL for Most Cultured, scoring 62 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
