The Federación of Xelebara is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Presidente Analia Cordova with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, daily referendums, and compulsory military service. The compassionate population of 4.974 billion Xelebarans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pelta. The average income tax rate is 36.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Xelebaran economy, worth 350 trillion Xelebaran Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,447 Xelebaran Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lavish state dinners in Pelta are the state's leading budgetary expenditure, the official Xelebaran Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, and the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xelebara's national animal is the PopCat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Raaxla.

Xelebara is ranked 141,894^th in the world and 5,254^th in Balder for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 635.64 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
