The Republic of Westcoast is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Isabella Grey with Westcoast Improvement with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums. The compassionate, devout population of 1.243 billion Westcoastians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wellingborough. The average income tax rate is 47.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Westcoastian economy, worth 55.4 trillion euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,565 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in Wellingborough for fear of causing a fuss, visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub, more than one company makes the board game Monopoly, and several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Westcoast's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christian Orthodox.

Westcoast is ranked 13,991^st in the world and 299^th in Europe for Safest, scoring 116.8 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
