The Lesbian Elven Empire of Xialta is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Benevolent Empress of The Moon with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, otherworldly petting zoo, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 11.687 billion Xialtans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, corrupt, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rubéna. The average income tax rate is 99.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Xialtan economy, worth a remarkable 2,592 trillion Puns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 221,804 Puns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Saying "don't do anything that Benevolent Empress of The Moon wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal, troublemakers boast about how many times they have to visit their therapist, the Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy, and a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xialta's national animal is the fluffy highlander cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sapphism.

Xialta is ranked 4,773^rd in the world and 4^th in The LCRUA for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,406.79 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
