The United Kingdom of Ixstria is a mammoth, genial nation, remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, zero percent divorce rate, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 5.581 billion Ixstrians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 29.0%.

The thriving Ixstrian economy, worth 414 trillion Tivixes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,189 Tivixes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

The recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, textbooks are exactly twice as heavy as they used to be, the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, and eminent domain has been abolished. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ixstria's national animal is the Lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ixstria is ranked 80,229^th in the world and 3,928^th in Osiris for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 13,847.49 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
