The United Empire of Socialist Xlyvania is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by 👑 Emperor Jixam with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, infamous sell-swords, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 37.317 billion Xlyvanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 🏰 Exelica Pavilion. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Xlyvanian economy, worth an astonishing 19,459 trillion 💵 Aurum Sterlings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 521,476 💵 Aurum Sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, the saying "when pigs fly" has been changed to "when the lights work", the only soporific permitted during sermons is the preacher's voice, and high school bands practice by moonlight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist Xlyvania's national animal is the 🐍 Emerald Viper, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is ⛔️ Neutrality.

Socialist Xlyvania is ranked 56^th in the world and 1^st in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Most Cultured, scoring 1,030 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
