The Democratic and Free Land of Xarikistan is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Minister Sebastian Natale with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 4.403 billion Xarikistani hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Modvil. The average income tax rate is 78.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Xarikistani economy, worth 543 trillion Xaris a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,465 Xaris, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

School teachers check the staff room for hidden webcams before complaining about rebellious students, war memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping, grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, and Maxtopian villagers starve by the time Xarikistani officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them. Crime is totally unknown. Xarikistan's national animal is the Stimson's Python, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Xarikistan is ranked 284,331st in the world and 399th in Astoria for Most Patriotic, with 0.38 flags saluted per person per day.
