The Republic of Xerpend is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Xerp with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, zero percent divorce rate, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 7.255 billion Xerpendians 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 Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rodver. The average income tax rate is 70.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Xerpendian economy, worth 917 trillion Juks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,480 Juks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.
Multiple polls have christened the newly-formed Filibuster Committee as "the least efficient government bureaucracy", volunteers are signing up to take arms against an incursion of flesh-eating zombies (Xerpend has found 1 easter egg), nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, and there's a bright dawn ahead for Xerpend. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xerpend's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Xerpend is ranked 213,691st in the world and 5,924th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 33.7647700572 days.
