The Pirates of Xyanth is a behemoth, efficient nation, ruled by J Noble Daggett with an even hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, compulsory military service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 50.526 billion Xyanthians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xyanth City. Income tax is unheard of.

The thriving Xyanthian economy, worth an astonishing 15,456 trillion Dark Net Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 305,911 Dark Net Credits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,468,814 per year while the poor average 37,203, a ratio of 39.5 to 1.

Nothing is more offensive than being inoffensive, politicians can be seen taking candy from babies, the government throws money at problems when in a jam, and graffiti artists make up a significant portion of the coal mining population. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Xyanth's national animal is the cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Xyanth is ranked 1,078^th in the world and 1^st in Capitalist Libertarian Freedom Region for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 10,019.97 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
