The Empire of Xen is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Nereka Teyri with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 43.841 billion Xenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The minute, socially-minded government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drakonia. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Xenian economy, worth an astonishing 13,319 trillion xennies 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, broadly diversified black market in Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, 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 amazing 303,807 xennies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Mathematicians are gathering an infinite number of Llamas and typewriters to see if they can recreate the works of Max Barry, psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Nereka Teyri to meetings with foreign heads of state, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, and pedal-powered removal vans are a popular Maxxmas gift for the children of separated parents. Crime is totally unknown. Xen's national animal is the Llama, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Xen is ranked 5,086th in the world and 3rd in The Cursed Continent of Lodoss for Smartest Citizens, with 127.72 quips per hour.
