The Republic of Xalivstonia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Mehmet Ekbar Al-Ovays with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 6.968 billion Xalivstons are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hergevolsk. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Xalivstonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,170 trillion Krocvas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 167,912 Krocvas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The best-of-the-best athletes have been replaced by the best-of-the-mediocre, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, and elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-Krocva mansions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xalivstonia's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is none while Sunni Islam is the majority.

Xalivstonia is ranked 286,917^th in the world and 11,086^th in Lazarus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -16.19 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
