The Republic of Xiaocai is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working, democratic population of 633 million Xiaocaians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caity. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.1%.

The powerhouse Xiaocaian economy, worth 50.1 trillion OvOes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is 79,105 OvOes, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

Ten-year-olds are applying for lemonade stand operator licences, janitors and factory workers are often better educated than the bosses they work for, restaurants are required to specify whether their toilet paper was made in Xiaocai, and the name of the "Butcher of Bigtopia" adorns shirts across Xiaocai. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Xiaocai's national animal is the Orz, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Xiaocai is ranked 89,752^nd in the world and 3,181^st in Lazarus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,287.24 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
