The XKI CUP of West Minata is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 1.773 billion West Minatans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Athanus. The average income tax rate is 23.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient West Minatan economy, worth 65.7 trillion Mikans a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,064 Mikans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Schoolchildren must pass a six-month Ethics and Safety Committee Assessment before they are allowed to mix baking soda and vinegar, no animal is considered endangered if there's another that looks kind of like it, the fattest folk in West Minata look to be the happiest ones, and meat prices are soaring as the farming industry struggle under government-imposed restrictions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West Minata's national animal is the Football, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

West Minata is ranked 137,613^th in the world and 6,581^st in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.04 law-abiding acts per hour.
