The State of Xoaz is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and complete lack of prisons. The democratic population of 36.648 billion Xoazians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 8.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Xoazian economy, worth a remarkable 1,639 trillion betales a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 44,730 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, graffiti graces every city's streets, and Xoaz has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Xoaz's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Xoaz is ranked 193,608^th in the world and 410^th in State for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring zero on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
