The Community of Xuzok is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its smutty television, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 16.649 billion Xuzokians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Perr. The average income tax rate is 94.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Xuzokian economy, worth a remarkable 1,907 trillion Ibanitaius a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Retail, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 114,589 Ibanitaius, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high, the true length of the coastline of Xuzok may never be measured, advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines, and the army consists of only generals and grunts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xuzok's national animal is the vulture, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Xuzok is ranked 7,926th in the world and 1st in The Great Experiment for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 10,438.81 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
