The Republic of West Anters is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 550 million West Antersians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 45.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient West Antersian economy, worth 65.1 trillion euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 118,274 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Imitation is the sincerest form of felony, possession of tomato seeds with intent to garden is a criminal offence, five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, and candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED. Crime is totally unknown. West Anters's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

West Anters is ranked 52,538^th in the world and 1,612^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,158.95 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
