The Regno of Western Vapia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King-Emperor Ulliveri II with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 14.432 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 aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rovigia. The average income tax rate is 96.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Vapian economy, worth a remarkable 5,637 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 390,604 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 12,101^st in the world and 539^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 370.06 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
