The Empire of West Zebrupco Bageropirex is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.475 billion West Zebrupco Bageropirexians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zanzibar. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient West Zebrupco Bageropirexian economy, worth 521 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 Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 150,129 Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children are disappointed to learn that cavemen never had a yabba-dabba-doo time riding dinosaurs to work, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens, and customs turn away those considered to have an unfavourable ethnicity. 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 242,773^rd in the world and 9,278^th in The North Pacific for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -26.08 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
