The Progressive Peoples Republic of Xetruriax is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Ignacio Rodrigo with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.586 billion Xetruscans 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 medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corrigo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.7%.

The strong Xetruriaxian economy, worth 422 trillion Cubits a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 55,604 Cubits, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

Xetruriax has designated Corrigo as its capital city, Ignacio Rodrigo has just been declared ruler of Xetruriax in an international press conference, Ignacio Rodrigo is the self-declared God of all Xetruriax, and balaclava manufacturers are held criminally culpable for bank heists. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Xetruriax's national animal is the Jaguar.

Xetruriax is ranked 248,513^th in the world and 11^th in Nova Minor for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -2.69 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
