Location: the West Pacific

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The West Pacifican BB Puppet of West Brightonburg is a gargantuan, devout nation, renowned for its complete lack of public education. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 16.966 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Religion & Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 23%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail industries.

Buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, the right to a fair trial was recently abolished for reasons of convenience, murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, and hairdressers are among those who have disappeared overnight. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. West Brightonburg's national animal is the OBI Iron Goat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Beerism, and its currency is the OBI Buck.

West Brightonburg is ranked 1,020th in the West Pacific and 25,480th in the world for Most Authoritarian, with 1 Stalins.
