The X-Tale Enigma of Cross Sans is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 3.751 billion Cross Sansians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 40.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Cross Sansian economy, worth 30.6 trillion crosses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 8,167 crosses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cross Sans's national animal is the cross.

Cross Sans is ranked 289,511^th in the world and 97^th in Xianzhou Alliance for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -9.49 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
