The Coastal Colonies of Westcoastmar is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 26.641 billion Westcoastmarines enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Public Transport, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 50.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Westcoastmarine economy, worth 688 trillion west coast saars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,853 west coast saars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Same-sex marriages are increasingly common, sheepish teenagers are making eye contact with their parents for the first time in a decade during state-enforced 'no-phones hour', the tenet of free speech is held dear, and copyright laws have been abolished. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Westcoastmar's national animal is the sea otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Westcoastmar is ranked 79,211^th in the world and 4^th in Monterey for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,262.98 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
