The Federation of Xiggor is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Hari Ani Seldon with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.266 billion Xiggorians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trantor. The average income tax rate is 40.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Xiggorian economy, worth 133 trillion Obelisks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 105,421 Obelisks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Hari Ani Seldon's throne, professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials, diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, and foreign leaders are advising that Hari Ani Seldon's letters must have gotten lost in the mail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Xiggor's national animal is the Obscurus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Freedom of Religion.

Xiggor is ranked 74,433^rd in the world and 4,129^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.39 law-abiding acts per hour.
