The United Kingdom of Vylixan Eros 18 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.31 billion Vylixan Eros 18ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Vylixan Eros 18ian economy, worth 871 trillion balboas a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 104,841 balboas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Glamping Vylixan Eros 18ians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, parents who reward their teens' chores with concert tickets are charged with illegal reselling, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, and major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vylixan Eros 18's national animal is the swallow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Vylixan Eros 18 is ranked 119,116^th in the world and 91^st in Vylixan Prime for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.8 law-abiding acts per hour.
