The Armed Republic of Xylourgos is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 396 million Xylourgosians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 42.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Xylourgosian economy, worth 17.0 trillion Copper Coins 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 42,974 Copper Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government makes bereaved siblings into bereaved orphans, blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Xylourgos City. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xylourgos's national animal is the Moth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Xylourgos is ranked 234,010^th in the world and 10,165^th in Osiris for Largest Populations, with 396 million capita.
