The Free Land of Vapsidia is a small, safe nation, notable for its soft-spoken computers, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 23 million Vapsidians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny, liberal government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 8.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Vapsidian economy, worth 1.50 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 65,104 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem", all writing must pass a censorship board before being allowed on the shelves, graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail, and photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Leader's bedroom. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Vapsidia's national animal is the nighthawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Vapsidia is ranked 105,632^nd in the world and 7^th in Mazedornia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 11,122.26 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
