The Dominion of Xanistan is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its vat-grown people, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 416 million Xanistani live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xantantinople. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Xanistani economy, worth 42.6 trillion karats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 102,421 karats, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 478,045 per year while the poor average 13,135, a ratio of 36.4 to 1.

The bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Xantantinople, convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, and signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Xanistan's national animal is the Drakkon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Xanistan is ranked 270,224^th in the world and 4,961^st in the South Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -9.17 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
