The Cannibalicracy of Vespertilia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Belpheghorhoth Gacek with a fair hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, national health service, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 41.424 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, socially-minded, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Education, with Defense also on the agenda, 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 17,467 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 reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 421,677 Gaceks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's new 'Crime Can Fight Itself' policy appears to be backfiring rather badly, Vespertilia's Medieval Faire is renowned as one of the best in the region, traveller camps regularly block five-lane superhighways, and the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop. 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 294,437^th in the world and 18^th in Poland for Lowest Crime Rates, with 0.84 law-abiding acts per hour.
