The Fantastic Fantasy of Vylixan Fantasia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by J․R․R․ Tolkien with an iron fist, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ritual sacrifices, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 9.746 billion Fantasies 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 tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lórien. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Fantastic economy, worth 952 trillion Fantastical Dreams a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 97,739 Fantastical Dreams, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 749,862 per year while the poor average 3,436, a ratio of 218 to 1.

Retail stores are known for creating their own oddly-similar holidays in the months preceding any major festivity, cooking with water and baking soda is considered patent infringement, beatboxing has replaced the 'Wilhelm scream' as the nation's most popular sound effect, and black market eau de toilette is made in bathroom labs across the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Vylixan Fantasia's national animal is the Chimerean Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Fantasy.

Vylixan Fantasia is ranked 340,065th in the world and 15th in Fantasy Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 4.87 law-abiding acts per hour.
