The Republic of Federated Westamerica is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Executive Minister with a fair hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.335 billion Federated Westamericans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Executive District. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Federated Westamerican economy, worth 41.5 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,069 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

New safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Federated Westamerica to be bombproof, the nation's forests are full of treasure hunters in military-grade survival gear, teenagers sit around on their butts all day, and religious education is a new government priority. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Federated Westamerica's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Federated Westamerica is ranked 172,351^st in the world and 5,746^th in the South Pacific for Highest Drug Use, scoring 41.4 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
