The Greater Federal Republic of Xi Lan is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Federal Council with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.1 billion Xi Lanics are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

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 91.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Xi Lanian economy, worth 174 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 158,951 Temis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Federal Council likes it when another nation spies on their citizens, sentient AIs face their watery graves with a fixed smile, Federal Council's new office is 6 by 8 feet with steel walls and a barred door, and the nation is regarded as a paragon of democracy. 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 22,119^th in the world and 72^nd in The Leftist Assembly for Highest Average Incomes, with 158,951.7 Standard Monetary Units.
