The People's Republic of X86 is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 654 million X86ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 60.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped X86ian economy, worth 23.9 trillion francs a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,518 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Flatulent people are left to die of cancer at the end of hospital waiting lists, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, mathematics majors learn about new ways to model their crushing debt, and fans doing the wave routinely disrupt the finals of Go tournaments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. X86's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

X86 is ranked 111,852^nd in the world and 49^th in Conservative Guild for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 2,281.42 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
