The Free Land of Vapsidia is a small, safe nation, notable for its soft-spoken computers, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 20 million Vapsidians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny, liberal government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 8.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Vapsidian economy, worth 1.31 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 65,400 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

In coastal waters there are fifteen salvage divers per dead man's chest (yo ho ho), only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, companies flee the nation rather than pay their fair share of taxes, and the Grinder at Fat Sal's Deli and Recycling Center is a national institution. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Vapsidia's national animal is the nighthawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Vapsidia is ranked 19,388^th in the world and 3^rd in Mazedornia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,156.89 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
