The Western Realm of Westhar is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Vollach with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.706 billion Westharians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westharos. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.

The very strong Westharian economy, worth 97.4 trillion gomon fes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 57,083 gomon fes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 213,176 per year while the poor average 10,710, a ratio of 19.9 to 1.

Little girls are in tears as Vollach confiscates their pink princess ballgowns, charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, Members of Parliament operate under a PAYE scheme, and the government has declared that sharing is uncaring. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Westhar's national animal is the Squirrel and its national religion is Faith of the Seven.

Westhar is ranked 58,014^th in the world and 220^th in Starlight for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 47.2 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
