The Spooky Halloween Emirate of X Country is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Xzavier Moreno with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working population of 2.289 billion Xians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of X City. The average income tax rate is 52.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Xian economy, worth 210 trillion Emeralds a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,055 Emeralds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's beloved 'good-natured doormat' is inundated by begging letters, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, people caught mistreating X Country's flag generally wind up in a great deal of pain, and street preachers sell salvation with a side order of shame on every corner. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. X Country's national animal is the Grey Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

X Country is ranked 35,685^th in the world and 486^th in Europe for Highest Poor Incomes, with 68,392.97 Standard Monetary Units.
