The Separatist Movement of West Grimblasia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sheldon G Rimble with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, frequent executions, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.599 billion West Grimblasians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Dictasa. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.7%.
The thriving West Grimblasian economy, worth 154 trillion West Grimblasian Coins a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 96,478 West Grimblasian Coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 345,772 per year while the poor average 19,306, a ratio of 17.9 to 1.
Tumbleweeds made of litter adorn city streets, the strong are acquitted and the weak are trampled in trial by a Sheldon, only those who apply can study applied maths, and there's no cure or sympathy for the common cold. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West Grimblasia's national animal is the Sheldon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Grimblasianism.
West Grimblasia is ranked 42,527th in the world and 3rd in The Guild of Generations for Largest Governments, scoring 23.94 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
