The Republic of West Kolechia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by CEO of Halliburton with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, enslaved workforce, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.181 billion West Kolechians 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 tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kolechia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The frighteningly efficient West Kolechian economy, worth 712 trillion ducats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 170,427 ducats, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,272,500 per year while the poor average 6,670, a ratio of 190 to 1.

Newspapers print only headlines, major corporations receive tax breaks for no apparent reason, internet moderators work overtime to remove memes comparing CEO of Halliburton to cartoon bears, and the Treasury and Finance Ministry have been outsourced. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. West Kolechia's national animal is the honey badger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Human Sacrifice.

West Kolechia is ranked 269,451st in the world and 12th in Gates Law 2022 for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -9.49 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
