The Federal Republic of XOM is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 7.456 billion XOMians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.7%.

The very strong XOMian economy, worth 453 trillion XOM Shareses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 60,757 XOM Shareses, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 240,039 per year while the poor average 10,411, a ratio of 23.1 to 1.

Dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, and citizens must inform the government each time they have a haircut. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. XOM's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

XOM is ranked 175,033^rd in the world and 6^th in NYSE for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,128.41 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
