Westeralia

The Constitutional Monarchy of Westeralia is a huge, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, democratic population of 268 million Westeralians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 75.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Westeralian economy, worth 11.0 trillion kroner a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,900 kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, all statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers, posters on 'Westeralian Values' advise against being proud of Westeralia, and the nation leads the West Pacific in per capita stalking. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Westeralia's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Westeralia is ranked 21,243rd in the world and 441st in the West Pacific for Most Influential, scoring 2,625 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
