The Sovereign Kingdom of Westnesia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 31.507 billion Westnesians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bruw. The average income tax rate is 94.5%.

The powerhouse Westnesian economy, worth a remarkable 2,863 trillion Bruwer Guildens a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 90,869 Bruwer Guildens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, unstable couples are known to break up over which one gets parental leave, birth rates have hit an all-time low, and teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Westnesia's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Westnesia is ranked 67,549^th in the world and 3,705^th in Osiris for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 4,218 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
