The Queendom of Thomas West is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 17.423 billion Thomas Westians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.1%.

The strong Thomas Westian economy, worth 982 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is 56,394 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 383,411 per year while the poor average 3,030, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The nation's official head of religious affairs is an atheist, surveillance cameras are banned, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Thomas West's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Thomas West is ranked 68,066^th in the world and 1^st in Kansas for Highest Food Quality, scoring 29.09 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
