The Most Beautiful Queendom of Vylixan Aphrodite is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Aphrodite with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, unlimited-speed roads, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.454 billion Beauties 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Η πιο όμορφη πόλη. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Beautiful economy, worth a remarkable 3,351 trillion Apples a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 396,465 Apples, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,127,776 per year while the poor average 12,360, a ratio of 253 to 1.

The government insists that a ghost voted ten million times in the last election, children who can't memorize their multiplication tables are sent to the mines, town welcome signs list corporate sponsors, and people forget to eat because they are too busy singing Aphrodite's praises. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Vylixan Aphrodite's national animal is the Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Aphroditism.

Vylixan Aphrodite is ranked 1,462nd in the world and 1st in Aftoi oi omorfoi anthropoi for Most Corrupt Governments, with 408.33 kickbacks per hour.
