The Rogue Nation of Xaelyzvaek is a tiny, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 12 million Xaelyzvaekians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Public Transport, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The very strong Xaelyzvaekian economy, worth 965 billion International Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 80,466 International Credits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 336,975 per year while the poor average 12,510, a ratio of 26.9 to 1.

Minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high, and citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Xaelyzvaek's national animal is the Phoenix, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Xaelyzvaek is ranked 67,323^rd in the world and 5^th in QA nerds for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 52.24 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
