The Dålatt of West Bathwick is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Anje Åðrisdøþir with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.428 billion Båþískraí 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 Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pærstarfjørðr. The average income tax rate is 76.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Båþísk economy, worth 457 trillion Krøners a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 103,401 Krøners, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Information Technology facilities are being turned into Víse Kléin Svínn habitats, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, foreign policy is to avoid standing up to bullies, and it's been a banner year for local vexillology. Crime is totally unknown. West Bathwick's national animal is the Víse Kléin Svínn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Åsatrø.

West Bathwick is ranked 176,133^rd in the world and 32^nd in Anime Nations Against Liberals for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 117.73 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
