The Republic of XX17XX is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, parental licensing program, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 2.931 billion XX17XXians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.9%.

The frighteningly efficient XX17XXian economy, worth 360 trillion XXES a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,142 XXES, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 430,571 per year while the poor average 25,595, a ratio of 16.8 to 1.

Former school buses now regularly shuttle kids to the nearest shopping centers to work, chicken farmers must rise before the sun every day to gag their cockerels, the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, and sheepish teenagers are making eye contact with their parents for the first time in a decade during state-enforced 'no-phones hour'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. XX17XX's national animal is the XX, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

XX17XX is ranked 22,604^th in the world and 5^th in DOMINANT for Most Developed, scoring 86.01 on the Human Development Index.
