The Cannibalicracy of Vespertilia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Belpheghorhoth Gacek with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 46.554 billion Vespertilians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Education, although Defense is also considered important, while Law & Order and Spirituality receive no funds. 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 19,248 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 extensive. Average income is an amazing 413,461 Gaceks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

High school band practice is often crashed by technicolor-clad ravers, all prisons have been eliminated, the government seizes the property of the recently deceased, and the poorest Vespertilians live in 'the stacks'. 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 is also the nation's favorite main course.

Vespertilia is ranked 331,774^th in the world and 44^th in Poland for Safest, scoring 0.85 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
