The United Kingdom of Vylixan Rhea 40 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.325 billion Vylixan Rhea 40ians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.8%.

The Vylixan Rhea 40ian economy, worth 380 trillion bolivar soberanoes 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, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. 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 45,757 bolivar soberanoes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 138,933 per year while the poor average 11,711, a ratio of 11.9 to 1.

Former televangelists are often seen begging skateboarders for donations, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, and programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Vylixan Rhea 40's national animal is the tortoise, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Vylixan Rhea 40 is ranked 88,891^st in the world and 132^nd in Vylixan Prime for Most Corrupt Governments, with 17.51 kickbacks per hour.
