The Democratic and Free Land of Xarikistan is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Sebastian Natale with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, daily referendums, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 4.397 billion Xarikistani hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Modvil. The average income tax rate is 77.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Xarikistani economy, worth 542 trillion Xaris a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,306 Xaris, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Concussed Stimson's Pythonball players cannot remember their lineup position, the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines, politicians can be condescending (which by the way means "showing an attitude of patronising superiority"), and one can walk from one side of Modvil to the other without setting foot on Xarikistani soil. Crime is totally unknown. Xarikistan's national animal is the Stimson's Python, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Xarikistan is ranked 15,970th in the world and 21st in Astoria for Safest, scoring 115.95 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
