The Greater Federal Republic of Xi Lan is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its digital currency, soft-spoken computers, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate population of 732 million Xi Lanics are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Li Anqui. The average income tax rate is 83.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Xi Lanian economy, worth 97.5 trillion Temis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 133,255 Temis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event, passwords to nuclear codes must now contain upper and lower case characters, all government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police, and things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication. Crime is totally unknown. Xi Lan's national animal is the Yani collared dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Xi Lan is ranked 72,634^th in the world and 90^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 4,011.07 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
