The Republic of West43 is a massive, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The devout population of 4.576 billion West43ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Environment, Spirituality, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 56.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish West43ian economy, worth 110 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 24,127 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's considered a civil right to be allowed to neglect and mistreat your own children, sniffer dogs are trained to follow clouds of fruity-smelling vapor, the jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, and the news is showing footage of Leader bullying an old man to the point of tears. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West43's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

West43 is ranked 247,833rd in the world and 6th in Farther Lands for Most Stationary, with 19.7908553894 days.
