The Dance Artistry of West Coast Swing is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dancer with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and flagrant waste-dumping. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 25.98 billion West Coast Swingians 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, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government prioritizes Industry, with Administration, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Los Angeles. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.1%.

The frighteningly efficient West Coast Swingian economy, worth a remarkable 5,082 trillion Smooth Moves a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 195,643 Smooth Moves, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,090,715 per year while the poor average 17,520, a ratio of 62.3 to 1.

The nation leads NationStates in per capita stalking, standard-issue infantry rifles now have carnations instead of bayonets, fire stations and hospitals can't deploy emergency vehicles because badly parked cars block them in, and you have to be a billionaire to qualify for welfare. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. West Coast Swing's national animal is the J Frisbee, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnostic Pantheism.

West Coast Swing is ranked 302,643rd in the world and 669th in NationStates for Most Conservative, scoring 17.92 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
