The Principality of Xombud is a massive, pleasant nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.065 billion Xombudians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Welfare, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.

The strong Xombudian economy, worth 63.4 trillion golds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 59,561 golds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 189,294 per year while the poor average 14,273, a ratio of 13.3 to 1.

Traffic cops are puzzled to see that nobody exceeds the speed limits, military spending is on the increase, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, and organ donation is compulsory. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Xombud's national animal is the dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Xombud is ranked 146,156^th in the world and 616^th in The Frontier Sea for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,032.49 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
