The Duchy of Isle of Westland is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Richard Bryant 12th Duke of Westland with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, avowedly heterosexual populace, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.273 billion Westlanders have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lanmouth. The average income tax rate is 10.5%.

The very strong Isle of Westlandian economy, worth 279 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Gambling, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,257 Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Cowboys often wear wolfskin jackets to the saloon, a rusted hulk in Lanmouth harbour has been voted the worst eyesore in England, posters encourage people to "Just Do It!", and the nation's once beautiful countryside has turned brown as farmers spray potent pesticides. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force. Isle of Westland's national animal is the Red Grouse, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Isle of Westland is ranked 126,947^th in the world and 71^st in England for Highest Drug Use, scoring 144.22 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
