The Bureaucracy of Vapid is a huge, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning Pigeon population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 589 million Vapidians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vapidicity. The average income tax rate is 11.7%.

The Vapidian economy, worth 30.2 trillion Dullars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 51,253 Dullars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

People invite random old men into their homes to play with their kids, the sidewalk is used as an overtaking lane by city drivers, it is technically inaccurate to call the dead 'worm food', and all new "spies" are fifteen-year-old acne-ridden kids on computers. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Vapid's national animal is the Pigeon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Vapid is ranked 127,341^st in the world and 2,782^nd in The North Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 25,754.28 Standard Monetary Units.
