The Italian Kingdom of Western Vapia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Mussolini with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.362 billion Italians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Healthcare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rome. The average income tax rate is 69.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Italian economy, worth 200 trillion Lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 146,863 Lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Chrome-clad space marines are such stuff that dreams are made on, the number of judges has tripled in recent months, on-call doctors who check their pagers during movies are banned from cinemas for life, and swings are banned for being a danger to children. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Western Vapia's national animal is the Black Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Western Vapia is ranked 157,630^th in the world and 9,006^th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 31.2 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
