The Enlightened Principality of XIonn is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by the Fifth Element with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.427 billion Enlightened Ones are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ocean Palace. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The powerhouse XIonnian economy, worth a remarkable 1,157 trillion negative meat popsicles a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 155,846 negative meat popsicles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Strip mining of rare earth metals is up while back problems are down, grade school teachers mark homework with red "CITATION NEEDED" stamps, movies depict muscle-bound women kicking down a titanium door to carry hysterical men to safety, and competing private ambulances racing to be the first to traffic accidents are a major cause of road accidents. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. XIonn's national animal is the Nu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

XIonn is ranked 37,892^nd in the world and 1,774^th in The North Pacific for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 201,017.8 Standard Monetary Units.
