The Girl and her Cat of Westinor is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by advent with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.76 billion Westinorians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ailarvale. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Westinorian economy, worth a remarkable 2,933 trillion Stardusts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 300,590 Stardusts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Left-wing militias train children how to properly burn down banks, most ambassadors from Westinor retire only a few years after being appointed, scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied Pengu🐧, and nobody knows why the caged Pengu🐧 sings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Westinor's national animal is the Pengu🐧, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Westinor is ranked 263rd in the world and 3rd in Europeia for Most Beautiful Environments, with 7,789.21 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
