The Commonwealth of The Xaniand Islands is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Tom Cruise with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.778 billion Xaniand Islandsians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sunlit City. The average income tax rate is 90.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Xaniand Islandsian economy, worth a remarkable 3,122 trillion crowns 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Retail, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. 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 197,880 crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Blueriver mercenaries routinely do the army's dirty work, politicians are forced to wear portable lie detectors at all times, there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, and Tom Cruise often plays real life games of Tower Defense against hordes of angry villagers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Xaniand Islands's national animal is the sunfish, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Scientology.

The Xaniand Islands is ranked 56,225^th in the world and 2,649^th in Lazarus for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,119.97 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
