The Federal Republic of Xantara is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 9 million Xantarans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 39.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fair Xantaran economy, worth 293 billion Dunaes a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,610 Dunaes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fraternities are rejoicing at government-subsidized partying, no one questions why the chicken crossed the road anymore, manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, and extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xantara's national animal is the Rattlesnake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Xantara is ranked 58,432^nd in the world and 539^th in Europeia for Most Secular, with 18.92 Atheism Rate.
