The Eternal Empire of XW5RULEZ is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Our Great Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.936 billion Halcyons are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goldenrose. The average income tax rate is 94.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Halcyion economy, worth a remarkable 1,593 trillion Vonies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 160,397 Vonies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Boys who even ask about cheerleading are placed on the Sex Offenders Register, billions of Vonies are spent to take high-quality photos of the Bear Nebula, the nation is renowned abroad for its love of blood and guts, and invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. XW5RULEZ's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Usefulness.

XW5RULEZ is ranked 14,994th in the world and 330th in the Rejected Realms for Most Cultured, scoring 101 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
