The Republic of Westernian is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Mari with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.806 billion Westernianians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lordsan. The average income tax rate is 72.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Westernianian economy, worth 172 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,666 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soldiers are equipped with multi-million dollar battlesuits, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, and soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Westernian's national animal is the feneco, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Westernian is ranked 20,674^th in the world and 24^th in Flanelistan for Highest Food Quality, scoring 114.88 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
