The Disputed Territories of Xanva is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8 million Xanvans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.3%.

The strong Xanvan economy, worth 421 billion noyles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Average income is 52,563 noyles, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Xanva's national animal is the turtle.

Xanva is ranked 65,556^th in the world and 543^rd in the West Pacific for Rudest Citizens, with 70.76 insults per minute.
