The People's Democratic Republic of Westlandis is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jude Phillips with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cheerful population of 8.98 billion Westlandisians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reycamac. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Westlandisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,409 trillion Westlandis dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 156,993 Westlandis dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Westlandis's radio stations, children have lost interest in toy guns in favor of toy meth lab kits, metal detectors have been banned after a bottle cap caused a riot at the beach, and posters on 'Westlandisian Values' advise against being proud of Westlandis. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Westlandis's national animal is the Crocodile, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Westlandis is ranked 13,009th in the world and 12th in Astoria for Lowest Crime Rates, with 96.52 law-abiding acts per hour.
