The Sunlight State of West-Africa is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Johnny Sunlight with an even hand, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, anti-smoking policies, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 25.942 billion West-Africans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sundania. The average income tax rate is 63.1%.

The frighteningly efficient West-African economy, worth a remarkable 3,444 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 132,794 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Back-alley circumcision clinics are popping up all over the nation, motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, weathermen are being arrested for attempting to read the future, and the nation has an international reputation for compassion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West-Africa's national animal is the camel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Sunworshippers.

West-Africa is ranked 261,469^th in the world and 3,477^th in the West Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -7.1 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
