The Impero Vapiano of Western Vapia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King-Emperor Ulliveri II with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 14.124 billion Vapians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Industry, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rovigia. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Vapian economy, worth a remarkable 5,543 trillion Lire a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 392,512 Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

If there's something strange in your neighborhood you call Brancaland, tax avoidance is a serious affair, increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, and King-Emperor Ulliveri II is strangely popular with male politicians' wives. 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 Alpine Grey Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Vapian Trinitism.

Western Vapia is ranked 20,096th in the world and 841st in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 91 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
