The People's Dome of Xenial is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Bimby with an iron fist, and notable for its aversion to nipples, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.422 billion Xenialians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Qualona. The average income tax rate is 10.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Xenialian economy, worth 705 trillion Furtons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 130,030 Furtons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Requests to "pass the salt" are supported by tank divisions, auditors are gutting every governmental department, the government's economic policy is "sort it yourself", and only the richest get to see out of their windows. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Xenial's national animal is the Trout Bot, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is No Religion.

Xenial is ranked 73,350^th in the world and 1,371^st in the Rejected Realms for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 3,872.79 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
