The Greater Federal Republic of Xi Lan is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Federal Council with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, otherworldly petting zoo, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.087 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 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Xi Lanian economy, worth 173 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 159,203 Temis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government loves seeing the little people fight, the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, Federal Council is frequently seen begging critics to stop insulting the government, and it's a long jump to get onto the housing ladder. 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 164,342^nd in the world and 182^nd in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 271.1 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
