The Kingdom of West Pangasinan is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Carlos de Rivera with an even hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 3.967 billion West Pangasinenses are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Carlos City. The average income tax rate is 92.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient West Pangasinense economy, worth 486 trillion Pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 122,750 Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The suicide rate mysteriously skyrockets during census years, foreign football clubs wave the West Pangasinense flag before every game, medical lawsuits are out of control, and criminals lock themselves in their mums' basements to avoid prison. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West Pangasinan's national animal is the Haribon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kahlerist Christianity.

West Pangasinan is ranked 15,275^th in the world and 337^th in The East Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 53.84 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
