The Empire of Xenion Ancients

**Motto:** " We Will Endure "

**Civil Rights:** Unheard Of

**Economy:** Good

**Political Freedom:** Outlawed

## **Description**

The Empire of Xenion Ancients is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Xia Xetra G'Xari with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, prohibition of alcohol, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.777 billion Ancients are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Citadel. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43.1%.

The Ancient economy, worth 133 trillion ergs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 75,035 ergs, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Citadel to enjoy their national art, politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional, the might of the entire Ancient Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders, and the term "Native Ancient" has been redefined as anyone with the same skin color as the majority. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xenion Ancients's national animal is the Type Four, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Xetranism.
