The Grand Federation of Xentherida is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Leona Antonsson with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, cheerful population of 20.41 billion Xentheridans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blackwater City. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Xentheridan economy, worth a remarkable 4,889 trillion Krans a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 239,543 Krans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Artists are renowned for their ability to make art pieces out of thin air, grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, films are funded in accordance with the volume of tears shed when reading the screenplay, and machine-peeled candied grapes come in individual packaging for the busy commuter. Crime is totally unknown. Xentherida's national animal is the Celetepow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Xentherida is ranked 290,590^th in the world and 6,335^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -27.46 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
