The Communist republic of Xaxam is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 713 million Xaxamianos are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Catal Huilk. The average income tax rate is 38.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Xaxamiano economy, worth 28.9 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,498 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Leader is famed for giving great back rubs, there have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons', many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses, and street preachers spend more time condemning government bureaucracy than passers-by. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xaxam's national animal is the Monkey.

Xaxam is ranked 239,830^th in the world and 1,623^rd in The Communist Bloc for Highest Drug Use, scoring 13.6 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
