The Empire of Vupria is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its smutty television, parental licensing program, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate population of 719 million Vupros have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vulkim. The average income tax rate is 42.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Vupro economy, worth 53.7 trillion Jicoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,678 Jicoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights, future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence, it's always rabbit season, and the Vulkim Women's Prison Choir now has a baritone section. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vupria's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vupria is ranked 145,600^th in the world and 1^st in Zita for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,157.07 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
