The Free Interstellar Domain of Xvlaticolia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its daily referendums, ubiquitous missile silos, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 11.947 billion Xvlaticolians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Healthcare, with Defense, Education, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Libertà. The average income tax rate is 10.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Xvlaticolian economy, worth a remarkable 1,076 trillion Francas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 90,098 Francas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, and reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Xvlaticolia's national animal is the Hedgehog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Xvlaticolia is ranked 20,683rd in the world and 7th in Enadia for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,007.59 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
