The Federal Republic of West Churvania is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 970 million Churvanese are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Batalis. The average income tax rate is 50.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The West Churvanian economy, worth 42.9 trillion Pirics a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,225 Pirics, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Greenhouses are regularly raided by the police, priests are being drafted by the church load, black market eau de toilette is made in bathroom labs across the nation, and it takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West Churvania's national animal is the Churvanese Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

West Churvania is ranked 28,307^th in the world and 2^nd in West Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,771.32 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
