The Blue Paradise of Xanthorrhoea is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sergé Star with a fair hand, and notable for its vat-grown people, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.785 billion Xanthorrhoeans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meristem. The average income tax rate is 92.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Xanthorrhoean economy, worth 258 trillion Bits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 144,841 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, and ersatz chicken has left the nation's citizens with a bad taste in their mouths. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xanthorrhoea's national animal is the fluted parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secularism.

Xanthorrhoea is ranked 4,579^th in the world and 99^th in 10000 Islands for Healthiest Citizens, with 20.56 bananas ingested per day.
