The Commonwealth of Xenthia is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, devout population of 547 million Xenthians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ceruse. The average income tax rate is 62.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Xenthian economy, worth 44.6 trillion jenets a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 81,467 jenets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', the government is funding experimental battery technology while the power grid continues to crumble, Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion, and the government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xenthia's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Xenthia is ranked 44,357^th in the world and 1^st in SSU for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,125.71 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
