“Exceptio probat regulam de rebus non exceptis”

The Capurcium Palace of West hampshire is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.182 billion are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic government is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 21%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Cheese Exports.

Voting is voluntary and organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region. Crime is a problem. West hampshire's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Libram.

West hampshire is ranked 42nd in the region and 19,106th in the world for Most Godforsaken.
