Overview • Factbook • Dispatches • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Western Vapia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Valentino with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.231 billion Vapians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rovigia. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Vapian economy, worth a remarkable 2,339 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 375,421 Lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The meaning of life was recently discovered in the patch notes for Version 1.42, unprotected royals have replaced their corgis with rottweilers, nuclear physics is the most popular course at university, and ex-royals are being greeted by a whole new set of gestures. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Western Vapia's national animal is the Grey Alpine Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Vapian Trinitism.

Western Vapia is ranked 146,244^th in the world and 6,155^th in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 9.31 Obesity Rate.
