The Queendom of West-East is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 8.7 billion West-Eastians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.
The strong West-Eastian economy, worth 466 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Cheese Exports, and Retail. Average income is 53,585 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 345,360 per year while the poor average 3,359, a ratio of 102 to 1.
Voting is voluntary. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. West-East's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
West-East is ranked 58,985th in the world and 4th in Memphis for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.67 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
