The Occultia Automata of Vleerian is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Vleerian Ravagia with an iron fist, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, enslaved workforce, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.416 billion swarm are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

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 59.4%.

The frighteningly efficient the swarm economy, worth 884 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 200,217 Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,805,791 per year while the poor average 2,714, a ratio of 665 to 1.

Main battle tanks stalk the woods of Vleerian in search of Aisels, diabetics find the contents of their medications hard to stomach, martial law has been declared and the populace is kept under tight control, and funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience. 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 12,910^th in the world and 22^nd in The Brotherhood of Malice for Most Patriotic, with 57.66 flags saluted per person per day.
