The Dominion of Western Xan is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 356 million Western Xanians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 22.7%.

The Western Xanian economy, worth 17.4 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 48,836 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Children in school playgrounds can be heard chanting the hymns of the Order of Violet, the country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions, Western Xanians suffer not the eggplant emoji to live, and school teachers check the staff room for hidden webcams before complaining about rebellious students. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Western Xan's national animal is the bison, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Western Xan is ranked 204,611^th in the world and 124^th in Realm of the Whispering Winds for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -3.16 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
