The Cannibalicracy of Vespertilia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Belpheghorhoth Gacek with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 43.005 billion Vespertilians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of 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 17,994 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. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 418,420 Gaceks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nude art is becoming wildly popular, there's a mortuary next to every Vespertilian restaurant, bombs are permitted on planes for the 'security of the passengers', and the media seems excessively interested in what Belpheghorhoth Gacek is wearing this season. 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 333,951^st in the world and 14^th in Poland for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring -71.69 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
