The Republic of Interceptor XL is a colossal, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The quiet, industrious population of 8.702 billion Interceptor XLians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 18.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Interceptor XLian economy, worth 344 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,635 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Interceptor XL's national animal is the dove, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Interceptor XL is ranked 199,929^th in the world and 5^th in The Fallen Kingdoms for Most Patriotic, with 6.75 flags saluted per person per day.
