The Republic of Xanthorrhoea is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 133 million Xanthorrhoeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meristem. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The very strong Xanthorrhoean economy, worth 31.4 trillion Bits a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,988 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, political dissidents are cut off from essential services, and the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xanthorrhoea's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Xanthorrhoea arrived in 10000 Islands in August 2020. In their short residency within the region, they joined TIBOE, amassed 200 endorsements, and wrote and passed GA#582 "Access to Effective Medications." Congratulations to our newest Featured Nation, as chosen by the MoE Free Las Pinas .
