The Democratic Peoples Republic of The Xolbarian Opposition is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Benjamin Myers with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, compulsory vegetarianism, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 4.433 billion Xolbarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Potat. The average income tax rate is 68.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Xolbarian economy, worth 390 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,020 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Messiah (formerly known as Brian) is a mayoral candidate, the right school tie opens more doors than the right qualification, the government tries not to listen to the people unless it absolutely has to, and there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Xolbarian Opposition's national animal is the Xi Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Xolt.

The Xolbarian Opposition is ranked 34,441st in the world and 791st in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 199.58 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
