The State of Xiak is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 8.583 billion Xiakians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Education is also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.5%.

The strong Xiakian economy, worth 550 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Average income is 64,165 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, national chefs believe that you can eat anything so long as you deep fry it first, Xiak has designated Westminster as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Xiak in an international press conference. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Xiak's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Xiak is ranked 209,693^rd in the world and 5^th in Black Dragons for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.47 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
