The Free Land of West Genosha is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 30.044 billion West Genoshans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 92.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The enormous but inefficient West Genoshan economy, worth a remarkable 2,100 trillion dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,919 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, children are raised bilingual from an early age, the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, and the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly. Crime is totally unknown. West Genosha's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
West Genosha is ranked 7,934th in the world and 341st in Balder for Smartest Citizens, with 104.28 quips per hour.
