The Greater Federal Republic of Xi Lan is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Federal Council with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.131 billion Xi Lanics are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Li Anqui. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Xi Lanian economy, worth 182 trillion Temis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 160,936 Temis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Those who cut young children are told to cut it out, the examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, representatives soak in mineral pools at the new capitol building day spa, and murderers are immune to arrest while attending their victims' funerals. Crime is totally unknown. Xi Lan's national animal is the Yani Collared Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Xi Lan is ranked 140,328^th in the world and 128^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 8,789.94 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
