The Republic of Xantam is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 7 million Xantamians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 10.6%.

The Xantamian economy, worth 382 billion USDS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 54,706 USDS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and Harry Potter books are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Xantam's national animal is the Jaguar, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Xantam is ranked 118,232^nd in the world and 300^th in Starlight for Highest Poor Incomes, with 27,035.51 Standard Monetary Units.
