The Federalist Republic of West Vesteria is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Chancellor Jim Borgia with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory military service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.904 billion West Vesterians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Toussaint. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient West Vesterian economy, worth 967 trillion West Vesterian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 163,941 West Vesterian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Eating kids as food has been enshrined in law, the nation tends not to learn from its history, drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, and almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West Vesteria's national animal is the Otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is West Vesterian Paganism.

West Vesteria is ranked 35,727^th in the world and 19^th in Talonia for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,671.66 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
