The Second Equine Republic of Xzavaria is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Pegasos Anicetus with an iron fist, and notable for its national health service, ritual sacrifices, and labour-free parental leave. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.717 billion Zavarians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Olympia. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Xzavarian economy, worth a remarkable 2,789 trillion Pearls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 238,041 Pearls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

There's a lot of mouth-breathers about these days, new arrivals are asked the location of the Minister of the Interior's birthmark, fashion models are guaranteed to be 100% genuinely as anorexic as they appear on magazine covers, and etiquette guides advise visitors to 'grovel gracefully'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xzavaria's national animal is the Pegasus, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Xzavaria is ranked 5,557^th in the world and 16^th in Declansburg for Most Developed, scoring 94.18 on the Human Development Index.
