The Nation In Civil War of Western Vapia is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Coup Leader Giovanni Marsalla with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.001 billion Italians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rome. The average income tax rate is 94.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Italian economy, worth a remarkable 1,874 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. Average income is an amazing 374,895 Lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Wigged-out hunters report playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts, nations that kill an Italian can expect a strongly worded letter, kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, and court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Western Vapia's national animal is the Brown Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Western Vapia is ranked 6,916^th in the world and 401^st in The North Pacific for Longest Average Lifespans, with 91.72 Years.
