The Fantastic DutchGarth Kingdom of Vylixan is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Sitethief with an iron fist, and renowned for its vat-grown people, avant-garde cinema, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 9.891 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, well-organized 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 97.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Vylixanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,140 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 115,274 Xanvylis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tribal zone has been opened to up to 'economic interest' groups, Naxilyv sanctuaries have been taken over by hydraulic fracturing sites, childhood friends of Sitethief are living it large abroad at the taxpayers' expense, and songs in 4/4 time are simply too common for the musical cognoscenti. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded 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 38,786th in the world and 335th in the Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,171.76093757252 days.
