The Ecumenopolis of Foixla is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by High Empress Larielle I with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 4.623 billion Foixlans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Foixla. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Foixlan economy, worth 977 trillion lumins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 211,372 lumins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Owl Dung" has been declared a national treasure, elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-lumin mansions, civil engineers are undermining sinkholes, and billions of lumins are spent to take high-quality photos of the Owl Nebula. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Foixla's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Dream.

Foixla is ranked 144,838^th in the world and 82^nd in Starlight for Largest Populations, with 4.62 billion capita.
