The Republic of Xalivstonia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Mehmet Ekbar Al-Ovays with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 7.034 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 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Xalivstonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,175 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 167,079 Krocvas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, a bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, and popular sunny beaches always have a cloudy outlook. 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 4,391^st in the world and 186^th in Lazarus for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 61.45 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
