The Peoples Republic of West Qaru is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Barack Bronson with an iron fist, and renowned for its lack of airports, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The cynical population of 2.429 billion Qaruvians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pasideon. The average income tax rate is 30.5%.

The West Qaruvian economy, worth 164 trillion rallods a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,805 rallods, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

The dish 'poisson avec poison' is only available on the black market, helicopter parenting is on the rise, there is a 'turn around' sign at every border entrance, and prison libraries are being replaced with interrogation chambers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West Qaru's national animal is the peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Baháʼí Faith.

West Qaru is ranked 127,385^th in the world and 2^nd in Qaru for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 887.75 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
