The United Kingdom of La xinga is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical, devout population of 353 million La xingans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of shalem. The average income tax rate is 52.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving La xingan economy, worth 24.3 trillion pongs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,890 pongs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Senior citizens are often found slaving away in factories, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, the police insist that racism does not exist, and arbitration is mightier than the sword. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. La xinga's national animal is the osprey, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

La xinga is ranked 145,380^th in the world and 5,927^th in The East Pacific for Largest Retail Industry, scoring -11.49 on the Shrinkwrap Consignment Productivity Index.
