The People's Republic of Weastern Bloc is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Boney M with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 7.268 billion Weastern Blocians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Weastern Blocian economy, worth 247 trillion Hugs a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 34,036 Hugs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All recreational drugs are legal, politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests, pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, and one can wake up in Weastern Bloc and have breakfast in Bigtopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Weastern Bloc's national animal is the Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is People of the Sun.

Weastern Bloc is ranked 29,432nd in the world and 1,776th in Balder for Highest Food Quality, scoring 70.14 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
