The Workers' State of Xaalsheon is a massive, safe nation, ruled by High Legal Director Taalo Sone Thaan with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.861 billion Xaalsheonka are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 'aakhaya. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Xaalsheonka economy, worth 121 trillion Lanmens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 65,418 Lanmens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction, the world still seems flat to some people in space, murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, and psychiatrists bizarrely accompany High Legal Director Taalo Sone Thaan to meetings with foreign heads of state. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xaalsheon's national animal is the Hocuu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Xaalsheon is ranked 114,896^th in the world and 6,348^th in Osiris for Highest Average Incomes, with 65,418.46 Standard Monetary Units.
