The Red Pink Christmas Ghost of Xernon is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, smutty television, and enslaved workforce. The compassionate population of 9.274 billion Xernonians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Xernonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,408 trillion Golds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 151,885 Golds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 557,282 per year while the poor average 29,302, a ratio of 19.0 to 1.
There is something rotten in the state of Xernon, scaffolding is built around scaffolding to give safe access, the government has ordered a moratorium on referenda, and corporate lawyers are joyfully combing through the new tax code for any new loopholes for their clients. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xernon's national animal is the Vampire Bat Reindeer Elf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Athyism.
Xernon is ranked 22,514th in the world and 1,227th in Balder for Safest, scoring 112.6 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
