The Eternal Trade of Vylixan Dora is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Divine Trade Council with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.281 billion Merchants are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of World Trade Capital. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Golden economy, worth a remarkable 8,863 trillion Drachmas 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. 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 a breathtaking 667,345 Drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons', workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year, doctors are learning that red tape makes ineffective bandages, and Golden novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Divine Trade Council. Crime is totally unknown. Vylixan Dora's national animal is the Tursiops truncatus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Trading.

Vylixan Dora is ranked 64,300^th in the world and 156^th in Vylixan Prime for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,227.91 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
