The Republic of Xiopothos is a unitary parliamentary constitutional republic situated in Aurora. The nation has a diverse climate, which is tropical along the Northern coast, subtropical along the Eastern coast and in parts of the interior, temperate along the Southern coast, and desert in the interior. Xiopothos is amongst the largest nations on Urth with an area of approximately 1,946,050 square kilometers (751,374.1 square miles), populated by around 31,915,220 people. The population is relatively diverse, thanks to widespread immigration over the last century. There are three Xiopothan states.

Codex colonized Xiopothos in the mid 18th century during its colonization of the greater Spoiliaverunt Ocean area. Xiopothos' population grew steadily over the next two centuries until, in 1901, it was granted autonomy by the Codexian Empire. Conflict erupted in the 1930s when the Holy Codexian-Columbian Empire sought to revoke that autonomy, leading Xiopothos to declare independence in 1942. Xiopothos subsequently established a stable liberal democracy, which has endured without significant interruption for close to seventy years. Xiopothos is a close ally of the modern Federated Alliance of Free Pacific States and East Malaysia, and helped found the East Pacific Treaty Organization in 2005.

Xiopothos is a developed country with a high standard of living, a medium level of income inequality, and a sizable global domestic product. Xiopothos is a post-industrial nation, though it retains substantial manufacturing and agricultural industries. The 31.9 million Xiopothan people have enjoyed continuous prosperity for decades, achieving a GDP of approximately $1.3 trillion in 2015. Xiopothans enjoy amongst the most comprehensive social safety nets in the world. Xiopothos' economy is largely driven by information technology, manufacturing, agriculture, and the service sector.
