The Republic of Xmara is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ávio Xanthopoulos with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 23.294 billion Xmaranese enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beverrayin. The average income tax rate is 40.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Xmaranese economy, worth a remarkable 3,723 trillion Polar Crowns a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 159,834 Polar Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, body doubles and armed bodyguards escort witnesses to and from courtrooms, a flying elephant and Ávio Xanthopoulos share the same nickname, and every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead. Crime is totally unknown. Xmara's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Xmara is ranked 58,104^th in the world and 17^th in Antarctica for Nudest, with 201.5 cheeks per square mile.
