The Blue Paradise of Xanthorrhoea is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Sergé Star with a fair hand, and notable for its digital currency, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.583 billion Xanthorrhoeans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meristem. The average income tax rate is 92.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Xanthorrhoean economy, worth 228 trillion Bits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 144,381 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children are disappointed to learn that cavemen never had a yabba-dabba-doo time riding dinosaurs to work, lip-readers are often left perplexed by political rallies, officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, and school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xanthorrhoea's national animal is the fluted parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secularism.

Xanthorrhoea is ranked 6,359^th in the world and 122^nd in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 13,441.09 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
