The Commonwealth of Wesland is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by the Chief of State with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 3.117 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Equality, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Athalem. The average income tax rate is 67%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Tourists outnumber citizens two to one, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, the government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion, and it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools. Crime is totally unknown. Wesland's national animal is the Weslandish Wild Hound, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Omnism, and its currency is the Datarie.

Wesland is ranked 34th in Philosophy 115 and 86,625th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 84 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
