The Republic of West Bank is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, feral children, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.915 billion West Bankians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.0%.

The frighteningly efficient West Bankian economy, worth a remarkable 1,873 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,606 Golds, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

War vets look after war animals, politicians constantly ring their voters to remind them how good a job they're doing, convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, and teachers are dying as they attempt to read 500 word essays without pausing for breath. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West Bank's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

West Bank is ranked 233,990th in the world and 7,223rd in Balder for Most Stationary, with 23.13250602852 days.
