The Empire of West Zebrupco Bageropirex is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its national health service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 9.83 billion West Zebrupco Bageropirexians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zanzibar. The average income tax rate is 79.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient West Zebrupco Bageropirexian economy, worth a remarkable 1,805 trillion Kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 183,686 Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of West Zebrupco Bageropirex's radio stations, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act, and machine-peeled candied grapes come in individual packaging for the busy commuter. Crime is totally unknown. West Zebrupco Bageropirex's national animal is the Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

West Zebrupco Bageropirex is ranked 67,946th in the world and 2,029th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.37 law-abiding acts per hour.
