The United Provinces of Westport and Holland is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jesse Rieken with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 4.29 billion Hollanders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westport. The average income tax rate is 66.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Hollandic economy, worth 219 trillion Euros a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,226 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ranchers are adept at mimicking wolf attacks, flu research is commonly shut down for fear of creating a superbug, it can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, and octogenarian swimsuit models insist that they've still got it. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Westport and Holland's national animal is the Stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Yahlism.

Westport and Holland is ranked 118,350th in the world and 437th in Europe for Largest Populations, with 4.29 billion capita.
