The Pirates of Xyanth is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by J Noble Daggett with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 38.472 billion Xyanthians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xyanth City. Income tax is unheard of.

The very strong Xyanthian economy, worth an astonishing 11,311 trillion Dark Net Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 294,010 Dark Net Credits, with the richest citizens earning 7.7 times as much as the poorest.

Former slave-owners hope there are no hard feelings when they apply for jobs from their erstwhile charges, hit TV show 'The eXecution Factor' is a critical success, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, and a widely accepted trade policy is "tit-for-tat". Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Xyanth's national animal is the cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Xyanth is ranked 146,421^st in the world and 25^th in Capitalist Libertarian Freedom Region for Highest Drug Use, scoring 53.4 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
