The Kingdom of Xiomar is a huge, genial nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 347 million Xiomarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tenochtitlán. The average income tax rate is 43.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Xiomarian economy, worth 13.1 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 37,795 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Money is being desperately pumped into the ruined economy, the stock market has been destroyed for its own protection, sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming, and there's an aura of pseudoscience around academia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xiomar's national animal is the snow leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Xiomar is ranked 175,054^th in the world and 4,244^th in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 61.3 billion Standard Monetary Units.
