The Masters Host of The Remnants of xeno23 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Overseer with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, enslaved workforce, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.678 billion Test Subjects are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Capital. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Test Subject economy, worth a remarkable 4,254 trillion Royal Silvers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 398,470 Royal Silvers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Nuclear physics is the most popular course at university, colonial citizens are forced to sing the praise of the "Great Test Subject Liberator", dream holidays often go awry, and the police double as repo men. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Remnants of xeno23's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

The Remnants of xeno23 is ranked 79,992^nd in the world and 42^nd in Institute of Cellulose for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,779.44 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
