The 10th Xenix of Xorvo is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Xavier with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.694 billion Xorvans 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nouveau Xorvotte. The average income tax rate is 59.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Xorvan economy, worth a remarkable 1,183 trillion Xorvan Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 176,822 Xorvan Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Economic output is rising as the chronically depressed are persuaded not to burden society, strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, one can walk from one side of Nouveau Xorvotte to the other without setting foot on Xorvan soil, and devotion to God is only skin-deep. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Xorvo's national animal is the Xver, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Xorvanity.

Xorvo is ranked 13,919th in the world and 304th in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 343 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
