The Empire of Xynthia is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and enforced nudity. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 300 million Xynthians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tava. The average income tax rate is 49.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Xynthian economy, worth 21.7 trillion Royals a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 72,457 Royals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Chalkboards are replaced with billboards in the classroom, the Xynthian government is the world's largest NGO, euthanasia is legal, and Xynthia successfully hosted the Bozarkia Olympics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xynthia's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Xynthia is ranked 69,195^th in the world and 111^th in Bozarkia for Nicest Citizens, with 16.29 average smiles per day.
