The Kingdom of Westbatten is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, avowedly heterosexual populace, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed population of 7.585 billion Westbattenians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rockfeller. The average income tax rate is 35.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Westbattenian economy, worth 410 trillion Lyres a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,081 Lyres, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces", Leader has just been declared ruler of Westbatten in an international press conference, kids' party bags often contain candy and e-cigarettes, and there's more hugging than talking in most talk shows. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Westbatten's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Westbatten is ranked 86,098th in the world and 6th in Of Books and Stories for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.71 law-abiding acts per hour.
