The Most Holy Empire of Westkapelle is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Pope Pius X with an even hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 2.293 billion Westkapellens are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oldenburg. The average income tax rate is 68.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Westkapellen economy, worth 179 trillion Westkapellen Euros a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 78,289 Westkapellen Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Pope Pius X's former secretary was last sighted on her new yacht, the question of 'what is Pope Pius X's favorite color?' has been given a priority rating of burnt-orange, government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals, and politicians are losing their jobs in a plan to make the government 'leaner and fitter'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Westkapelle's national animal is the Lamel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.
Westkapelle is ranked 148,193rd in the world and 796th in Europe for Most Average, scoring 37.36 on the Average Standardized Normality Scale.
