The Democratic Federation of Xericinan is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Riekaleaŧo with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.851 billion Xerians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous 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 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Xerian economy, worth 309 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 80,379 Aréns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

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 well-funded 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 36,358^th in the world and 726^th in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 191.82 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
