The United Socialist States of West yellow is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, infamous sell-swords, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 384 million West yellowians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant West yellowian economy, worth 8.16 trillion Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 21,245 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The caged-bird trade is singing, West yellowians caught jaywalking often have their houses seized by the police, Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, and parents often leave their kids in the car while they attend mindfulness meditation sessions. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West yellow's national animal is the Car, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

West yellow is ranked 23,426^th in the world and 247^th in Europeia for Nicest Citizens, with 21.78 average smiles per day.
