The Wealthy Trade Hub of Vylixan Dora is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Συμβούλιο Θεϊκού Εμπορίου with an iron fist, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, ban on automobiles, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.41 billion Vylixan Dorans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Παγκόσμιο Εμπορικό Κεφάλαιο. The average income tax rate is 87.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Vylixan Doran economy, worth a remarkable 1,410 trillion Denarii a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 319,765 Denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
A sudden shout of "surprise!" does not herald a party for teachers, the government is rumored to hire body doubles whose full-time jobs are to cry at public events, children fear compulsory visits to their spiritual advisors more than the dentist, and international collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Vylixan Dora. Crime is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Vylixan Dora's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Trading.
Vylixan Dora is ranked 6,605th in the world and 2nd in Vylixan Prime for Largest Retail Industry, scoring 15,250.03 on the Shrinkwrap Consignment Productivity Index.
