The Socialist Empire of Xomilad is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Umberto III with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 6.282 billion Xomiladians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Triest. The average income tax rate is 77.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Xomiladian economy, worth 366 trillion Hammers a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 58,272 Hammers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, girls who wear lipstick are berated for pandering to male gazes, the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, and pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xomilad's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Imperial Cult.

Xomilad is ranked 41,696^th in the world and 1^st in United ItalianSpeaking Empires or UISE for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,297.5 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
