The Western Realm of Westhar is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Vollach with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.564 billion Westharians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westharos. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The strong Westharian economy, worth 84.5 trillion gomon fes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 54,060 gomon fes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 224,435 per year while the poor average 8,529, a ratio of 26.3 to 1.

Crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track, the main interest rates change daily based on the latest news story, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, and the urban poor thumbs down the new hitchhiking ban. 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 273,875^th in the world and 568^th in Starlight for Highest Poor Incomes, with 8,529.74 Standard Monetary Units.
