The Federal Republic of Western Balkania is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 36 million West Balkanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 19.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong West Balkan economy, worth 2.12 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 58,826 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Air Western Balkania is rumored to receive more government funding than the West Balkan Air Force, a surprising number of police officers have been arrested for Double-Headed Eagle sacrifices, West Balkan watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, and robotic spouses prove to be just as imperfect as flesh and blood ones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Western Balkania's national animal is the Double-Headed Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Western Balkania is ranked 242,769^th in the world and 1,131^st in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -6.63 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
