The Federated Democratic States of Xanthal is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 49.783 billion Xanthalians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chotei. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Xanthalian economy, worth an astonishing 10,422 trillion quinaults a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 209,349 quinaults, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Online text-based nation-simulation games require you to prove you're a sovereign country before you can play, the clock on unfettered access to social media is ticking, a rogue brutalist can cement their town in the past, and the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xanthal's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Xanthal is ranked 3,860^th in the world and 2^nd in SPACE for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 9,325.62 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
