The Enlightened Principality of XiOnn is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Arbiter of Time with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 18.576 billion Enlightened Ones have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Chronopolis. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient XiOnnian economy, worth a remarkable 3,090 trillion negative meat popsicles a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 166,395 negative meat popsicles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Those who cut young children are told to cut it out, visitors to Graffiti Warrens National Park are offered a complimentary tetanus vaccination, families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs, and jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. XiOnn's national animal is the Nu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

XiOnn is ranked 5,753^rd in the world and 272^nd in Balder for Nicest Citizens, with 44.89 average smiles per day.
