The Most Holy Empire of Westkapelle is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Pope Pius X with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.515 billion Westkapellens love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

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 65.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Westkapellen economy, worth 99.0 trillion Westkapellen Euros a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 65,364 Westkapellen Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Skateparks can be found in every city, school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, meat prices are soaring as the farming industry struggle under government-imposed restrictions, and giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Pope Pius X is a silly poophead. 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 11,630^th in the world and 215^th in Europe for Safest, scoring 119.26 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
