The Republic of XxFolklorexX is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 966 million XxFolklorexXians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 19.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient XxFolklorexXian economy, worth 27.3 trillion braclets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 28,257 braclets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

XxFolklorexX is renowned for its lax gun laws, nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, weird or unusual crimes merit cruel and unusual punishments, and the might of the entire XxFolklorexXian Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. XxFolklorexX's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

XxFolklorexX is ranked 236,832^nd in the world and 6,479^th in Suspicious for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -1.83 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
