The Musical Dancing Nation of Vylixan Apollo is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Apollo with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, irreverence towards religion, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.506 billion Vylixan Apolloans 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 minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Education is also considered important, while Law & Order and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Delphi. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Vylixan Apolloan economy, worth a remarkable 1,539 trillion Lyres a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 181,037 Lyres, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,581,120 per year while the poor average 3,182, a ratio of 496 to 1.

Savvy nightclub-goers know that structurally unsound venues sell the cheapest drinks, the government seizes all major gold finds, hospitals have poor data security but send lots of bodies to be encrypted, and the new national anthem passes the Turing Test. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Vylixan Apollo's national animal is the Swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Dancing.

Vylixan Apollo is ranked 12,543^rd in the world and 248^th in The North Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 135.6 kickbacks per hour.
