The Colony of Xeknosian Irregulars is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 557 million Xeknosian Irregulars enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Xeknosian Irregular economy, worth 19.6 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 35,114 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government considers the rising number of McRonald's fast food restaurants to be great progress, Xeknosian Irregulars has designated Xeknosian Irregulars City as its capital city, business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, and the nation has nearly as many history museums as Xeknosian Irregulars. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xeknosian Irregulars's national animal is the tortoise, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Xeknosian Irregulars is ranked 148,774^th in the world and 131^st in Sparkalia for Most Patriotic, with 9.32 flags saluted per person per day.
