The Musical Dancing Nation of Vylixan Apollo is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Apollo with an iron fist, and notable for its digital currency, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.441 billion Vylixan Apolloans 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 minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Education also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Delphi. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Vylixan Apolloan economy, worth a remarkable 1,519 trillion Lyres a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 180,036 Lyres, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,633,721 per year while the poor average 2,306, a ratio of 708 to 1.

Colonial subjects have Vylixan Apolloan culture shoved down their throats, every fourth child is born with flippers instead of hands, destitute AIs lurk around online bulletin boards begging for spare Lyres, and Apollo's Twitcher account is once again only used for bragging about the government's accomplishments. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Vylixan Apollo's national animal is the Swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Dancing.

Vylixan Apollo is ranked 17,044^th in the world and 727^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 97 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
