The Cannibalicracy of Vespertilia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Belpheghorhoth Gacek with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 37.762 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 dominated by the Department of Education, with Defense also on the agenda, 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 14,955 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 rampant. Average income is an amazing 396,043 Gaceks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, Vespertilians have replaced bears in a popular idiom, the new national anthem passes the Turing Test, and it is not politically correct to suspect that a serially convicted burglar might steal again. 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 soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Vespertilia is ranked 354^th in the world and 1^st in Poland for Smartest Citizens, with 321.44 quips per hour.
