The Fantastic DutchGarth Kingdom of Vylixan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Sitethief with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 10.131 billion Vylixanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greater Lynxa City. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Vylixanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,173 trillion Xanvylis a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Information Technology industry. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 115,876 Xanvylis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ten-year-olds regularly found their own political parties, politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament, Merry Birthday is a popular protest song despite the risk of fines and royalty dues, and an iron curtain has descended around the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, 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 12,283^rd in the world and 292^nd in the Pacific for Safest, scoring 118.61 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
