The Democracy of Xarxaraalandia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Bulus Vassilis antoiou with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 6.5 billion Xarxaraalandians 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 Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lawrence. The average income tax rate is 61.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Xarxaraalandian economy, worth 691 trillion Glehnars 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 a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. 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 106,419 Glehnars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The military has gone fission for more funding, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, the military claims that their threatening letters are signed with the blood of their enemies, and convicts released after being found "wrongfully imprisoned" are surprisingly chill about the whole thing. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xarxaraalandia's national animal is the Two headed Sheep, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Xesoty.

Xarxaraalandia is ranked 233,496th in the world and 3,461st in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 525.88 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
