The Bolivarian Socialist Empire of West Calypso is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Nicolás Maduro with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, public floggings, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.307 billion West Calypsoans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Spirituality are also considered important, while Education and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tropico. The average income tax rate is 89.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The West Calypsoan economy, worth a remarkable 2,531 trillion bolivars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 190,268 bolivars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fortified nursing homes are wracked with daily skirmishes, birdsong in the mountains has to be loud enough to drown out nearby jackhammers, the most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita, and suburban backyards are seized by the government and turned into national parks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. West Calypso's national animal is the little owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Madurology.

West Calypso is ranked 16,279th in the world and 1st in West Calypso for Most Stationary, with 1,746.63473631972 days.
