The Empire of West Phoenicia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor Glenton Gryphon- Bush II with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 14.807 billion West Phoenicians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Melbourne-Haven. The average income tax rate is 68.4%.

The frighteningly efficient West Phoenician economy, worth a remarkable 2,447 trillion Ba'als a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 165,262 Ba'als, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions, and it's believed that women's brains will overheat if they think for themselves. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West Phoenicia's national animal is the Zebra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is True Path Faith and United Pagan Faiths.

West Phoenicia is ranked 272,591^st in the world and 122^nd in The Pangaean Union for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -9.59 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
