The Greater Federal Republic of Xi Lan is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Federal Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.233 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 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Xi Lanian economy, worth 206 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 Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 167,471 Temis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Solving crossword puzzles requires fluency in at least five languages, drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, school uniforms are compulsory, and skyscrapers get built in just days. 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 36,980^th in the world and 143^rd in The Leftist Assembly for Highest Drug Use, scoring 316.42 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
