The Matriarchal Empire of Xaeloa is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Her Imperial Majesty Lavvian Violet with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 3.204 billion Xaeloans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xandarr. The average income tax rate is 80.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Xaeloan economy, worth 520 trillion Duinteses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 162,599 Duinteses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Customs officials often double as wedding officiants, army doctors who come under attack defend themselves by using stethoscopes like nunchaku, the wealthiest parts of the country receive the most government spending, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xaeloa's national animal is the fennec fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is The Black Hand.

Xaeloa is ranked 311,717th in the world and 3rd in The Iron Domains for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -8.81 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
