The Beautiful Hunting Grounds of Vylixan Artemis is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Artemis with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 4.728 billion Vylixan Artemisians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Troy. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.2%.

The very strong Vylixan Artemisian economy, worth 325 trillion Bows a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 68,762 Bows, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

Parties that are too noisy are broken up to prevent disturbing wildlife, the government loves seeing the little people fight, former customs officers are adjusting to their new lives as market stall traders, and a soldier's body is a temple. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vylixan Artemis's national animal is the Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Artemisia.

Vylixan Artemis is ranked 230,446^th in the world and 26^th in Afte ta omorfa edafi for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -6.93 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
