The Commonwealth of Longxin is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Cabinet Chief with an even hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.192 billion LongXiners are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Emladen. The average income tax rate is 82.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Longxinian economy, worth 160 trillion univs a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,305 univs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is said that the captain goes down with the ship but ecological protection goes up, the government airlifts sacrificial lambs, lawmakers frequent the same speakeasies that they've publicly sworn to shut down, and it turns out that you actually can put a price on intangible cultural heritage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Longxin's national animal is the red panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of The Fool.

Longxin is ranked 9,823^rd in the world and 38^th in Starlight for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 5,601.14 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
