The Cannibalicracy of Vespertilia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Belpheghorhoth Gacek with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 43.01 billion Vespertilians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Education, although Defense is also considered important, while Law & Order and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ravendark. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Vespertilian economy, worth an astonishing 17,996 trillion Gaceks a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 418,420 Gaceks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nude art is becoming wildly popular, there's a mortuary next to every Vespertilian restaurant, bombs are permitted on planes for the 'security of the passengers', and the media seems excessively interested in what Belpheghorhoth Gacek is wearing this season. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Vespertilia's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Vespertilia is ranked 1,735^th in the world and 1^st in Poland for Largest Black Market, with 4,199 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
