The High Reich of Wesex is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Rasputin with an iron fist, and remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.429 billion Wesexians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Connecticut City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 59.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Wesexian economy, worth 256 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,437 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has a strict 'no marauding undead' law (Wesex has found 1 easter egg), any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, whales in captivity live in little more than glorified goldfish bowls, and sleeping on the job is recommended. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wesex's national animal is the Emu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Rasputinism.

Wesex is ranked 294,706th in the world and 10,430th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 1.50173515 days.
