The State of West-West is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 15.2 billion West-Westians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.1%.

The very strong West-Westian economy, worth 975 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 64,157 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 185,806 per year while the poor average 17,555, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Voting is voluntary and military funding has been stripped back. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. West-West's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

West-West is ranked 208,609^th in the world and 379^th in United States of America for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.06 kickbacks per hour.
