The Optimal Federal Republic of Xandev is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Kartikeya Tomar with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 10.864 billion Xandevians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Golden State. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Xandevian economy, worth a remarkable 2,822 trillion xandavian units a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 259,769 xandavian units, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kindergartners love the free balloons that their schools give them, annulments are on the rise as couples discover their ancestors were born in the same hospitals, Xandevians believe manners maketh the leader, and relationships often break down when doctors tell couples they are genetically incompatible. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xandev's national animal is the white lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hinduism.

Xandev is ranked 21,267^th in the world and 417^th in the South Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 20,371.75 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
