The Post-Holy Empire of Xarstaria is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.799 billion Xarstarians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vigilantes Vestrvm. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The very strong Xarstarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,440 trillion Silver Bars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 163,728 Silver Bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bruised children are made to thank their bullies for the valuable life lessons, the nation's soldiers often believe they're in the Air Force, soldiers are taught to throw their guns at their enemies once the bullets have run out, and chain-gangs are often seen toting barges and lifting bales. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xarstaria's national animal is the Ocean Sunfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Yellowism.

Xarstaria is ranked 8,481^st in the world and 3^rd in Eclipsis for Lowest Crime Rates, with 104.31 law-abiding acts per hour.
