The Occultia Automata of Vleerian is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Vleerian Ravagia with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, unlimited-speed roads, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.332 billion swarm are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atrangador. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 63.4%.

The frighteningly efficient the swarm economy, worth 852 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Gambling, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 196,795 Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,774,877 per year while the poor average 2,668, a ratio of 665 to 1.

Foreign governments regularly accuse the the swarm military of war crimes, throwing garbage out of your house's front window makes it legally someone else's problem, the phrase "you might think that but I couldn't possibly comment" is the closest you'll get to a straight answer from the swarm politicians, and warning signs caution swarm where they may fall off 'the edge of the world'. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Vleerian's national animal is the Aisel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Curphosim.

Vleerian is ranked 23,914^th in the world and 35^th in The Brotherhood of Malice for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,004.05 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
