The Astral Realms of West Canadian is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Crisagé Açeiles-Nanten with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 5.818 billion Wesstians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Astralés-Landtubaché. The average income tax rate is 74.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wesstian economy, worth 579 trillion Astral dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,526 Astral dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, the acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community, and consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West Canadian's national animal is the Aedosterrife albatross, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Astralism.

West Canadian is ranked 205,042^nd in the world and 4,574^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.92 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
