The Most Serene Republic of West Pastafaria is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Grandmaster Chef Fallzangour with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.827 billion Pastafarians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Strascinati. The average income tax rate is 79.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient West Pastafarian economy, worth 564 trillion Vermicellis a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 117,045 Vermicellis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many marriages go virtually unconsummated, jokes told in elementary school often come back to haunt politicians, Grandmaster Chef Fallzangour's speeches are beloved by insomniacs, and doctors accused of having no heart reply that cardiology isn't their speciality. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West Pastafaria's national animal is the Wild Spotted Collandar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

West Pastafaria is ranked 43,615^th in the world and 2,126^th in the South Pacific for Most Income Equality, scoring 63.53 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
