The Armed Republic of OIS Vampire is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 593 million OIS Vampireans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.9%.

The all-consuming OIS Vampirean economy, worth 57.1 trillion Halicarnassuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,226 Halicarnassuses, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

Many in OIS Vampire are born in the purple, diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, the tax agency is feared more than serial killers and terrorists, and parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. OIS Vampire's national animal is the White Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

OIS Vampire is ranked 76,426^th in the world and 191^st in Ordo Imperialia for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.99 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
