The Democratic Federation of Xericinan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Riekaleaŧo with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.794 billion Xerians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ôksurn. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Xerian economy, worth 316 trillion Aréns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,525 Aréns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Sex changes are routinely performed at Xericinan's hospitals, the government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, and body doubles and armed bodyguards escort witnesses to and from courtrooms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xericinan's national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kwalàm.

Xericinan is ranked 283,276^th in the world and 4,926^th in The East Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.6 kickbacks per hour.
