The Blue Skies of West Peninsula is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Jean-Michel Kärlek with an even hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.341 billion Peninsians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moinaskz. The average income tax rate is 75.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Peninsian economy, worth 274 trillion suns a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 117,446 suns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are required to report any and all incidents of prayer to their local Religious Affairs Officer, West Peninsula is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, heart attack victims are thrown onto the rails, and the song 'They Got an Awful Lot of Coffee in West Peninsula' is a smash hit. Crime is totally unknown. West Peninsula's national animal is the walrus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

West Peninsula is ranked 320,997^th in the world and 5,260^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -12.33 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
