The Benevolent Dictatorship of The WestPacific is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Comrade Ozoi with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 21.971 billion zombies are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chocolate Hoard. The average income tax rate is 82.1%.

The zombie economy, worth a remarkable 1,250 trillion Snarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 56,921 Snarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government seizes all major gold finds, the government is seen to favor Catholics, Comrade Ozoi has been known to threaten dissenting citizens with a machine gun at press conferences, and Comrade Ozoi is the self-declared God of all The WestPacific. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The WestPacific's national animal is the Black Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of Snark.

The WestPacific is ranked 124,535^th in the world and 30^th in Jenny for Nicest Citizens, with 13 average smiles per day.
