The Egalitarian Kingdom of The Xanderine is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Hephaestion Ouvre with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.075 billion Xanderine are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xandria. The average income tax rate is 83.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Xanderine economy, worth 307 trillion bints a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 99,992 bints, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, and collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise. Crime is totally unknown. The Xanderine's national animal is the Binturong, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Xanderine is ranked 8,353^rd in the world and 178^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 56.53 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
