The Most Beautiful Queendom of Vylixan Aphrodite is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Aphrodite with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.355 billion Beauties are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Η πιο όμορφη πόλη. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Beautiful economy, worth a remarkable 3,349 trillion Apples a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 400,874 Apples, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,170,036 per year while the poor average 12,365, a ratio of 256 to 1.

Books are considered luxuries only available to the incredibly wealthy, rich people sell their mansions to pay for endless rows of mobile homes, politicians demand do-overs when they don't agree with election outcomes, and shanty towns have formed around the newly rebuilt commercial district. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Vylixan Aphrodite's national animal is the Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Aphroditism.

Vylixan Aphrodite is ranked 293,852nd in the world and 27th in Aftoi oi omorfoi anthropoi for Lowest Crime Rates, with 2.97 law-abiding acts per hour.
