The Proletariat Dictatorship of Valyxias is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Timothy Gareth Fitzgerald with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, complete lack of prisons, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful population of 16.547 billion Valyxians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Volantis. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Valyxian economy, worth a remarkable 4,457 trillion Soliduses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 269,412 Soliduses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has declared its intention to "stretch out", parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, the tomato-covered corpses that decorate the nation's cities are a favourite amongst morbid tourists, and old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valyxias's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Valyxian Orthodox Christianity.

Valyxias is ranked 3,420th in the world and 53rd in the West Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 17,490.48 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
