The Republic of Xmara is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Ávio Xanthopoulos with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 27.106 billion Xmaranese enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beverrayin. The average income tax rate is 42.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Xmaranese economy, worth a remarkable 4,433 trillion Polar Crowns a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 163,545 Polar Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, government-sponsored WiFi allows farmers to rant about city folks in real time, worship days have replaced sick days, and making up random numbers to name new asteroids is the bulk of astronomers' work. Crime is totally unknown. Xmara's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Xmara is ranked 306,276^th in the world and 37^th in Antarctica for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -22.28 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
