The Empire of New West Empire is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 15.506 billion Osirans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Osiran economy, worth 516 trillion scarabs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 33,288 scarabs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Osiran watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, organ donation is compulsory, and the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New West Empire's national animal is the scarab.

New West Empire is ranked 82,323^rd in the world and 102^nd in The catholic military orders for Most Cultured, scoring 67 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
