The District of James West is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 19.691 billion James Westians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.1%.

The very strong James Westian economy, worth 517 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 26,279 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 178,671 per year while the poor average 1,412, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. James West's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

James West is ranked 192,106^th in the world and 386^th in 0000 for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -3.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
