The Emirate of X Country is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Xzavier Moreno with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, rampant corporate plagiarism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working population of 2.244 billion Xians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of X City. The average income tax rate is 52.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Xian economy, worth 206 trillion Emeralds a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,057 Emeralds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's beloved 'good-natured doormat' is inundated by begging letters, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, people caught mistreating X Country's flag generally wind up in a great deal of pain, and street preachers sell salvation with a side order of shame on every corner. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. X Country's national animal is the Grey Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

X Country is ranked 17,551^st in the world and 415^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,188.35 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
