The District of The Far West is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Liard with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 27.249 billion Far Westians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Defense, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.8%.

The thriving Far Westian economy, worth a remarkable 1,143 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 41,948 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 158,552 per year while the poor average 7,721, a ratio of 20.5 to 1.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, education and welfare spending are on the rise, The Far West has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and Liard has just been declared ruler of The Far West in an international press conference. Crime is a problem. The Far West's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Far West is ranked 250,029^th in the world and 6^th in Bogota for Lowest Crime Rates, with 51.93 law-abiding acts per hour.
