The People's Democratic Republic of Westlandis is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Jude Phillips with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 9.081 billion Westlandisians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reycamac. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Westlandisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,437 trillion Westlandis dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 158,247 Westlandis dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Westlandisians teach life's not worth a damn 'til you can shout out 'I am what I am', only vaccinated citizens may have free healthcare, therapists can always squeeze in another house-call, and the government subsidises medicines of mass destruction. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Westlandis's national animal is the Crocodile, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Westlandis is ranked 3,631^st in the world and 5^th in Astoria for Highest Food Quality, scoring 230.97 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
