The Luscious Green Garden of Vylixan Gaea is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by The Grey Druid with an iron fist, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, fear of technology, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.664 billion Gaeanics are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Environment, with Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Wild Sutāshіti. The average income tax rate is 90.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Gaeanan economy, worth a remarkable 1,520 trillion Lives a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Gambling. 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 an impressive 175,527 Lives, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Pitchforks and torches are coming back into fashion, sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors, the family summer vacation has become a thing of the past following the introduction of the year-round school year, and the legal system for the political class is completely separate from the one for normal citizens. Crime is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Vylixan Gaea's national animal is the Nature, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Naturalismus.

Vylixan Gaea is ranked 140th in the world and 1st in Paradisus for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 12,879.6 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
