The Ecumenopolis of Foixla is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by High Empress Larielle I with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 4.646 billion Foixlans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Foixla. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Foixlan economy, worth 983 trillion lumins 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 211,613 lumins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs, gift baskets often contain working nukes, diaper-wrapped falafel is a fan-favorite, and citizens spend more time learning about obscure religions than they do working. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Foixla's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Dream.

Foixla is ranked 305,268^th in the world and 529^th in Starlight for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
