The Republic of Vylixan Puppet 3 is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its smutty television, enslaved workforce, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.299 billion Vylixan Puppet 3ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 63.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vylixan Puppet 3ian economy, worth 701 trillion lotis 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 a large, well-organized black market in Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Retail. 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 84,481 lotis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Visitors to Vylixan Puppet 3 are microchipped and must be escorted by a Vylixan Puppet 3ian soldier - even to the bathroom, liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world", prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present, and the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vylixan Puppet 3's national animal is the dodo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Vylixan Puppet 3 is ranked 65,591^st in the world and 6^th in Vylixan Prime for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.76 law-abiding acts per hour.
