The Cannibalicracy of Vespertilia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Belpheghorhoth Gacek with a fair hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, public floggings, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 37.531 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, although Defense is also considered important, while Law & Order and Spirituality aren't funded at all. 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 14,691 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 391,454 Gaceks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Disposable antiseptic wipes are considered a social necessity, nuclear physics is the most popular course at university, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, and the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid. 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 744th in the world and 1st in Poland for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 101.11 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
