The Kingdom of Vampyroteuthis is a mid-sized, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its frequent executions and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 67 million Vampyroteuthisians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 14.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Vampyroteuthisian economy, worth 3.45 trillion Rubies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,434 Rubies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

A new "thought police" branch is being developed, anti-government web sites are springing up, builders across Vampyroteuthis are blocked up with orders for new public loos, and referenda are banned by law and the Parliament has absolute control of the legislative process. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Vampyroteuthis's national animal is the Vampyroteuthis infernalis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vampyroteuthis is ranked 87,051^st in the world and 3^rd in The Holy Hawk Union for Highest Poor Incomes, with 34,993.1 Standard Monetary Units.
