The Democratic Peoples Republic of The Xolbarian Opposition is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Benjamin Myers with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 4.346 billion Xolbarians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Potat. The average income tax rate is 66.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Xolbarian economy, worth 400 trillion Credits a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,150 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

War memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping, the Messiah (formerly known as Brian) is a mayoral candidate, the right school tie opens more doors than the right qualification, and the government tries not to listen to the people unless it absolutely has to. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Xolbarian Opposition's national animal is the Xi Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Xolt.

The Xolbarian Opposition is ranked 36,223rd in the world and 774th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,614.85 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
