The Fantastic DutchGarth Kingdom of Vylixan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Sitethief with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.34 billion Vylixanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greater Lynxa City. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Vylixanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,530 trillion Xanvylis a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 134,956 Xanvylis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teachers are dying as they attempt to read 500 word essays without pausing for breath, school teachers check the staff room for hidden webcams before complaining about rebellious students, the nation is known as the cheapskates of the Pacific, and boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vylixan's national animal is the Naxilyv, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Vylixan is ranked 308,276^th in the world and 3,422^nd in the Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -9.7 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
