The Scientific Empire of Zxanixia is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.32 billion Zxanixians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zxannina Zxan. The average income tax rate is 59.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Zxanix economy, worth 99.8 trillion X-TAZZES a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 75,601 X-TAZZES, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Education is transforming people into first-rate snobs, graffiti graces every city's streets, the once prosperous capital is in utter decline, and internal strife within the Red Bloc crumbles in the face of fiery rhetoric. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zxanixia's national animal is the Zxanixian Bullfrog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Body Of Science.

Zxanixia is ranked 265,595^th in the world and 3,765^th in The North Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -4.98 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
