The Dictatorship of Xilana is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sir Xonjet with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.336 billion Xilanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tiburón. The average income tax rate is 50.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Xilanan economy, worth 207 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 88,785 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People boast about their low income on their dating profiles, enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, tourists need only sign on the dotted line to become citizens, and family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xilana's national animal is the Mako Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Xilana is ranked 50,525th in the world and 3,056th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 74.02 law-abiding acts per hour.
