The Armed Republic of Vylixan Lyssa 171 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 8.344 billion Vylixan Lyssa 171ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Environment are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 46.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Vylixan Lyssa 171ian economy, worth 445 trillion pulas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 53,396 pulas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Grazing lands are filled with cattle wearing odd-looking anti-pollution devices, treason is relative, soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot are regarded as heroes, and escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vylixan Lyssa 171's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Vylixan Lyssa 171 is ranked 102,655^th in the world and 212^th in Vylixan Prime for Most Primitive, scoring -19.49 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
