The Empire of West Zebrupco Bageropirex is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 10.072 billion West Zebrupco Bageropirexians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zanzibar. The average income tax rate is 79.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient West Zebrupco Bageropirexian economy, worth a remarkable 1,849 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 Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 183,664 Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act, machine-peeled candied grapes come in individual packaging for the busy commuter, and Leader's used car is held together by bumper stickers that support the opposition. 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 289,593rd in the world and 11,025th in Osiris for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.32 kickbacks per hour.
