The Republic of West Zcheria is a small, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its restrictive gun laws, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 20 million West Zcherians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 68.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case West Zcherian economy, worth 285 billion Milloks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 14,276 Milloks , and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", organ donation is compulsory, and a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West Zcheria's national animal is the Mango Eagle , which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

West Zcheria is ranked 236,010^th in the world and 10^th in Zcheria for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 681.8 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
