The Pirates of Xyanth is a behemoth, efficient nation, ruled by J Noble Daggett with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 50.471 billion Xyanthians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xyanth City. Income tax is unheard of.

The thriving Xyanthian economy, worth an astonishing 15,439 trillion Dark Net Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 305,911 Dark Net Credits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,468,814 per year while the poor average 37,203, a ratio of 39.5 to 1.

Nothing is more offensive than being inoffensive, politicians can be seen taking candy from babies, the government throws money at problems when in a jam, and graffiti artists make up a significant portion of the coal mining population. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Xyanth's national animal is the cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Xyanth is ranked 81,499^th in the world and 5^th in Capitalist Libertarian Freedom Region for Highest Poor Incomes, with 37,203.17 Standard Monetary Units.
