The nation of Xanthal was founded on Earth in 1960 on the values of freedom, equality, and justice. After a mass move of the government and population to the Aellis System, which was completed in 2150, Xanthal prospered under a long line of administrations until the Humankind Empire Abh seized control of Aellis and physically moved it to their own galaxy in 2603. With the seat of power gone in the highly centralized Xanthalian government, order quickly collapsed in the two remaining Xanthalian star systems, Mirfak and Than. It wasn’t until the mid thirtieth century that these two systems and Trasnia, another former Xanthalian system that had declared its independence before the Aellis System’s disappearance, reunified under the common name of Xanthal. A complete history of Xanthal can be found here.

Xanthal's national administrative Ministries are overseen by the Diho. These Ministries, entrusted with the everyday domestic operation of the Xanthalian government, are listed below:
- Kuskos Oĭfnăl [Ministry of Education]

Law and order
Xanthalian territory is policed by the Kuskos Gĭməs Bəsfrąl [National Security Agency], which operates under the Ministry of Security. The KGB is well funded, and its agents operate across Xanthal. The nation’s justice system focuses on rehabilitating criminals; those that cannot be rehabilitated are usually executed. Xanthalian legal code supports diplomatic immunity for minor crimes, but the government is notorious for deporting unruly foreigners.
People

- 9% other
By religion
- 47% agnostic

Literacy and language
Literacy rate: 93%
Official language: Merfăkan [Mirfakan].
Other common languages: English, ░ְֲֳּ [Than].
Mirfakan is a simple language. Most Xanthalian citizens speak Mirfakan with at least passable fluency; members of the Thanic species being the primary exception with their lack of suitable vocal cords. The written language makes use of a phoneticized Roman alphabet to form words. Mirfakan grammatical structure is a stripped-down variation of English. Citizens of Xanthal who have reached majority are required to be able to read and write the Mirfakan language proficiently to be considered literate.
Economy, resources, and trade
Essential operations in Xanthal are owned and operated by the government. The Ministry of Economics regularly collects and redistributes all currency in accordance with a 100% tax rate. One should not be misled by this figure though, as all necessities of living are provided to citizens as a public service, and the government issues substantial refunds for spending on both public and private goods and services. The public sector accounts for just over half of Xanthalian economic power.
Xanthal’s primary resource is raw materials, mostly metal ores and gases. Kąnəl is most important for the extensive agricultural activity of Şĭnrą, though Ąrfrdąl’s military facilities are significant and essential to the nation’s defense. Merfăk supports large commercial markets, mostly on Rənku. Ŧăn focuses its economic efforts on industrial output, especially Wąkemişu; Məgukugą has a powerful commercial sector as well. Trăzneą is easily the most balanced of the four systems, supporting large agricultural, commercial, and industrial capacity as well as most international markets.
Xanthalian Constitutional, legislative, and executive law all contribute to a set of complex, ever-changing restrictions on trade between Xanthal and other nations. Although tariffs and other trade restrictions on goods with Xanthalian-made substitutes are prohibitive, there is a huge market for less-expensive foreign goods. Xanthal also has a sizable export market.
Common imports
- Consumables
- Media
- Electronics
Common exports
- Spacecraft
- Automobiles
- Raw materials
- Antimatter
Common exchange currencies
- The Common Credit is the only currency accepted by the Xanthalian government in international transactions. As the most available and easily convertable currency in Xanthal besides the quinault, it is also accepted by nearly all private exporters.
- The Euro is commonly used by private companies in transactions with Earth nations, especially those lacking the capacity for faster-than-light travel. Xanthalian companies that regularly import from and export to Earth will readily accept Euros.
