The Bundesrepublik of Greater Westfalen is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Consul Angela Mościcki with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 3.998 billion Westphalians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cologne. The average income tax rate is 97.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Westphalian economy, worth 666 trillion Volksmarks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 166,629 Volksmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming, and voting is compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Westfalen's national animal is the Saxon Steed, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Greater Westfalen is ranked 10,470th in the world and 645th in Balder for Most Pacifist, with 130.47 cheeks turned per day.
