The Vault of Thoughts of Vylixan Apothiki II is a colossal, pleasant nation, ruled by Sage Memorix with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.154 billion Cogitarans 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 relatively small government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mindspire Citadel. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.8%.

The strong Cogitaric economy, worth 459 trillion Thoughtmarks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 56,327 Thoughtmarks, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, the internet has been placed under government control, and builders spend more time negotiating "tasteful architecture" than on actual construction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vylixan Apothiki II's national animal is the Wisdom Owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Vylixan Apothiki II is ranked 104,669^th in the world and 1^st in Cogita Spires for Most Corrupt Governments, with 11.38 kickbacks per hour.
