The Commonwealth of Longxin is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Cabinet Chief with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.231 billion LongXiners 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 Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Emladen. The average income tax rate is 82.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Longxinian economy, worth 169 trillion univs a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,162 univs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, in the Beginning was the Word and the Word was "Pragmatism", producers insist that movie stars wear crash helmets in every scene, and popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Longxin's national animal is the red panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of The Fool.

Longxin is ranked 319,545^th in the world and 538^th in Starlight for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -10.39 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
