Vulgaria seems to border with Germany and Switzerland and takes out part of Austria.

Even the cooperation among cousins of the same sex—we boys built a fort in the middle of the woods, only to see it wrecked by some other clan—helps in the forging of those friendships which have built, well, every civilization that has ever existed.
Vulgaria is a new thing in the world: we have seen population decline before, but that was because of a death rate higher than ours now, high enough to outstrip the families that are still larger than those of the Vulgarians.
