The Grand Republic of The United Republic of Westend is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by The People's Parliament with a fair hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.04 billion Westendians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Healthcare, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Porto Libero. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Westendian economy, worth a remarkable 3,870 trillion Sovereigns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 275,684 Sovereigns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms, the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers, and the only things written in the stars are arrest warrants for astrologers. Crime is totally unknown. The United Republic of Westend's national animal is the Dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is The Light Of Liberty.

The United Republic of Westend is ranked 116,458^th in the world and 3,064^th in the West Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 997.62 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
