The Grand Republic of The United Republic of Westend is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by The People's Parliament with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 17.666 billion Westendians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Healthcare, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Porto Libero. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Westendian economy, worth a remarkable 4,940 trillion Sovereigns a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 279,661 Sovereigns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, and the nation takes the world's poor and tired and the huddled Masses yearning to breathe free. Crime is totally unknown. The United Republic of Westend's national animal is the Dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is The Light Of Liberty.

The United Republic of Westend is ranked 1,664^th in the world and 27^th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 151.71 law-abiding acts per hour.
