The Commonwealth of Xatin is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Chief Executive Panel with an iron fist, and renowned for its flagrant waste-dumping, unlimited-speed roads, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.358 billion Xatinians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Industry, although Defense, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Toqapkal. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Xatinian economy, worth 795 trillion Lejus a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 182,555 Lejus, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 551,789 per year while the poor average 47,026, a ratio of 11.7 to 1.
The government violently suppresses separatist movements, pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, pet owners make sure their dogs wear diapers, and teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Xatin's national animal is the Cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Capitalism.
Xatin is ranked 21,522nd in the world and 1,229th in Osiris for Most Cultured, scoring 89 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
