The Federal Republic of Xkerboan is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 639 million Xkerboanites enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aloturino. The average income tax rate is 52.0%.

The Xkerboanite economy, worth 26.1 trillion pounds a year, is dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,884 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Many of the unemployed have had the fight taken out of them, the green glow is a sign of clean energy, prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present, and straitjackets are a common religious garb. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xkerboan's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Xkerboan is ranked 114,229^th in the world and 48^th in Astellaria for Most Cultured, scoring 65 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
