The Weaponized Armed Nation of Vylixan Opla is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Goro Nyudo Masamune with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, rampant corporate plagiarism, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 8.273 billion Vylixan Oplans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Weaponpolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.8%.

The strong Vylixan Oplan economy, worth 518 trillion Steels a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,628 Steels, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 256,847 per year while the poor average 10,087, a ratio of 25.5 to 1.

The government considers it a sacred duty to video bikini-clad beach swimmers, citizens tint their front windows to avoid starring in the 'TV Detector Patrol Unit' documentary, families are only permitted to have one child, and voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vylixan Opla's national animal is the Swordfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Sikhism.

Vylixan Opla is ranked 226,581st in the world and 333rd in Vylixan Prime for Highest Food Quality, scoring 9.61 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
