The Pink Principality of Xelal is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Grand Princ Apirolt with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.02 billion Xlalds are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cibhir Slt. The average income tax rate is 75.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Xlarm economy, worth 233 trillion maris a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 115,541 maris, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Oil rigs in winter are heated by contained oil slick fires, couples are discouraged from marrying until they can rank their partner on a scale of one to ten, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and there's nothing more gay than bleeding for your nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xelal's national animal is the toad, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Anythingism.

Xelal is ranked 19,202^nd in the world and 1^st in Daardus for Largest Black Market, with 182 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
