The Kingdom of Xironoloto

“God, the Fatherland, the King”

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

The Kingdom of Xironoloto is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Mr Prime Minister with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 13.254 billion Xironolotians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yhut. The average income tax rate is 32.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Xironolotian economy, worth a remarkable 2,071 trillion lenzes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 156,311 lenzes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Frequent broken zippers have resulted in safety pins making a fashion comeback, dentists routinely perform open heart surgery, a soldier's body is a temple, and the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xironoloto's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Xironoloto is ranked 105,094^th in the world and 4,358^th in Balder for Safest, scoring 80.81 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
