The Most Serene Republic of West Pastafaria is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Grandmaster Chef Fallzangour with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.187 billion Pastafarians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Administration, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Strascinati. The average income tax rate is 68.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming West Pastafarian economy, worth 130 trillion Vermicellis a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,916 Vermicellis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Smoking is banned in public areas, pocket calculators are seen as status symbols for the ostentatiously wealthy, the government seizes all major gold finds, and Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to West Pastafaria as a reminder of their "special relationship". 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 197,211^th in the world and 7,682^nd in the South Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -49.01 on the Hayek Index.
