The Empire of Xalidius is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Xenos with an even hand, and remarkable for its conspicuous electricity pylons, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 25.09 billion Xalidians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xerxes. The average income tax rate is 38.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Xalidiusian economy, worth an astonishing 10,399 trillion Xaluses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 414,492 Xaluses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press, the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters, the government has declared that too much democracy gets in the way of sensible leadership, and adults pretending to be teenage girls claim to have wholesome motives. Crime is totally unknown. Xalidius's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Xenos' Cult of Personality.

Xalidius is ranked 13,909^th in the world and 348^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,293.79 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
