The Glorious Desmithening of Xasts Yatiopia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Muntashir with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.534 billion Xasts are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Conelius City. The average income tax rate is 43.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yatiopian economy, worth 330 trillion gloriously desmithenized tomatoes 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, 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 130,294 gloriously desmithenized tomatoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

When their backs are against the walls Xasts look out for gay men, nine-year-olds are discovering that they can grow gardens in real life too, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, and APCs on school runs disgorge kids via assault ramps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xasts Yatiopia's national animal is the Ivory Monster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kellertheism.

Xasts Yatiopia is ranked 90,121^st in the world and 9^th in The Outskirts for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,382.57 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
