The People's Republic of X86 is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 151 million X86ians 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 Law & Order, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 55.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped X86ian economy, worth 5.46 trillion francs a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,138 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The face of Leader is a permanent feature of the X86 City skyline, search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country, inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, and people with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. X86's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

X86 is ranked 278,185^th in the world and 58^th in Conservative Guild for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 1.46 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
