The Beautiful Hunting Grounds of Vylixan Artemis is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Artemis with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.238 billion Artemisians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Troy. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Artemisian economy, worth 802 trillion Arrows a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Gambling industry. Average income is 97,460 Arrows, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 441,544 per year while the poor average 13,199, a ratio of 33.5 to 1.
News headlines usually include p-values, criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors, and new homeowners go furniture hunting with crowbars. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Vylixan Artemis's national animal is the Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Artemisia.
Vylixan Artemis is ranked 37,102nd in the world and 1st in Afte ta omorfa edafi for Most Stationary, with 1,226.35503457672 days.
