The Grand Duchy of Xergiokia

“Strength Through Corporal Punishment”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Grand Duchy of Xergiokia is a huge, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 768 million Xergiokians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 44.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Xergiokian economy, worth 59.7 trillion spankings a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 77,774 spankings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Most foreigners can't name the leader of Xergiokia, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, politicians tend to jump ship to whichever party is currently leading in the polls, and human sacrifice to the metaphorical altar of Mammon ensures national prosperity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Xergiokia's national animal is the goblin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Xergiokia is ranked 72,305^th in the world and 3,049^th in the South Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 43,553.95 Standard Monetary Units.
