The Black of Xoj is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Roxanne J Radford with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, deadly medical pandemics, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 3.543 billion Xojons are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of R Radke Bethlehem City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Xojian economy, worth 502 trillion Xons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 141,948 Xons, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Parents tell their children 'what a lovely mistake you turned out to be', rumor has it that Roxanne J Radford has won three lotteries in a row, getting an autograph has become harder than ever, and builders spend more time negotiating "tasteful architecture" than on actual construction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Xoj's national animal is the Winged Cheetah, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Xoj is ranked 3,110^th in the world and 150^th in Lazarus for Fattest Citizens, with 36.16 Obesity Rate.
