The Country of Xcardead is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.454 billion Xcardeadians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Xcardeadian economy, worth 142 trillion Xcardead dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,506 Xcardead dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A speech a day keeps climate change away, busy commuters no longer hear the cries of "I want some more!" on the nation's streets, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, and the invisible hand of the market wipes babies' bottoms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xcardead's national animal is the oh wait it any animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Xcardead is ranked 18,867^th in the world and 1^st in Ardead for Most Developed, scoring 87.39 on the Human Development Index.
