The Empire of Socialist Xlyvania is a colossal, devout nation, ruled by Emperor Jami with an even hand, and notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 6.072 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chaltier. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 94%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Book Publishing and Tourism.

The police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, and the fire protection service is wholly government-funded. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist Xlyvania's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Catholicism, and its currency is the Ware.

Socialist Xlyvania is ranked 157th in USSR and 100,312th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -43 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
