The Rogue Nation of Xyzgonia is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.239 billion Xyzgonians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xzygone. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Xyzgonian economy, worth 513 trillion Xyzgs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 121,055 Xyzgs, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 772,769 per year while the poor average 7,789, a ratio of 99.2 to 1.

The government is attempting to impose a new national language on the public, doctors are encouraged to 'pull the plug' any time the government has a budget crisis, crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens, and it is illegal to liberate slaves. Crime is a major problem. Xyzgonia's national animal is the Buffalo, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Xyzgonia is ranked 147,709th in the world and 8th in Rejected Realms for Most Conservative, scoring 59.5 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
