The Kingdom of Western Vapia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by King Ullivieri II with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.249 billion Vapians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rovigia. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Vapian economy, worth a remarkable 2,701 trillion Lire a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 372,691 Lire, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,101,609 per year while the poor average 99,096, a ratio of 11.1 to 1.

Census workers are having a hard time figuring out who is actually living in Western Vapia after the ban on emigration was lifted, priceless Maxtopian artwork can often be found in executive bathrooms, the people's love for King Ullivieri II is little more than self-preservation, and the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Western Vapia's national animal is the Grey Alpine Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Vapian Trinitism.

Western Vapia is ranked 1,039^th in the world and 137^th in The North Pacific for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 465.35 Bank.
