The Free Republic of Oxirix is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Xall with an even hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 47.463 billion Oxiris are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Suntau. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Oxirixian economy, worth an astonishing 11,342 trillion Eucastrian Drachmas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 238,968 Eucastrian Drachmas, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 940,409 per year while the poor average 41,215, a ratio of 22.8 to 1.
Airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, the government denies any involvement in the release of the Hot Load computer virus, indigenous tribal elders can be recognised by their designer watches and expensive suits, and citizens finish cleaning up after the annual National Treasure Hunt just in time for the next one. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Oxirix's national animal is the Sphynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Individualism.
Oxirix is ranked 3,286th in the world and 73rd in the Rejected Realms for Smartest Citizens, with 157 quips per hour.
