The Anarchy in the former lands of Xerton is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by The Anarchic Administration with an iron fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.794 billion Xertonians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Istra Capital Administration. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Xertonian economy, worth 583 trillion nones a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 100,735 nones, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Xerton Barrier Island residents anxiously await their 'Bridge to Somewhere', pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, the nation's once beautiful countryside has turned brown as farmers spray potent pesticides, and you need a signed affidavit from a registered psychiatrist to claim that you have crazy low prices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xerton's national animal is the none, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is none.

Xerton is ranked 27,468^th in the world and 1^st in Istra for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 70.75 Effective Tax Rate.
