The Republic of Xantam is a tiny, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 18 million Xantamians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 10.6%.

The Xantamian economy, worth 984 billion USDS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 54,706 USDS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and Harry Potter books are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Xantam's national animal is the Jaguar, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Xantam is ranked 223,417^th in the world and 430^th in Starlight for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 254.18 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
