The Grand Federation of Xentherida is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Leona Antonsson with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, national health service, and smutty television. The compassionate, cheerful population of 25.418 billion Xentheridans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blackwater City. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Xentheridan economy, worth a remarkable 6,130 trillion Krans a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 241,199 Krans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

One can wake up in Xentherida and have breakfast in Bigtopia, aristocracy is given the bird and called out as a lark, resident physicians are said to have a silver scalpel in their hands, and attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams. Crime is totally unknown. Xentherida's national animal is the Celetepow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Xentherida is ranked 309,185^th in the world and 4,643^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -17.73 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
