The Republic of Federated Westamerica is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by The Executive Minister with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 7.248 billion Federated Westamericans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Executive District. The average income tax rate is 94.9%.

The powerhouse Federated Westamerican economy, worth 705 trillion Cascadian Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 97,334 Cascadian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act, politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return, and the housing market has collapsed like an overbaked Brancalandian souffle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Federated Westamerica's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Orca-ism.

Federated Westamerica is ranked 288,205^th in the world and 6,223^rd in The North Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.41 kickbacks per hour.
