The Empire of Xarton is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Titus III with an iron fist, and renowned for its digital currency, avowedly heterosexual populace, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 14.897 billion Xartonians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Xartonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,505 trillion Throne Gelts a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 101,045 Throne Gelts, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 560,527 per year while the poor average 9,149, a ratio of 61.3 to 1.
The tribal zone has been opened to up to 'economic interest' groups, unpopular politicians are often caught between a rock and a hard place, the only thing slower than the economy is the exchange where it's managed, and in a fit of passion Emperor Titus III has shredded thirty years' worth of petitions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xarton's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Xarton is ranked 212,471st in the world and 15th in The United Islands of the Atlantic for Most Stationary, with 35.07857477192 days.
