The Grand Duchy of West Nagato is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Grand Duke Kyon with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 5.261 billion Nagatoians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akai Machi. The average income tax rate is 77.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nagatoian economy, worth 611 trillion Nagatoian narias a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,327 Nagatoian narias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hackers post hourly updates on international summits, serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk, drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth, and soldiers are issued comics about superheroes punching unflattering caricatures of their enemies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West Nagato's national animal is the Calico Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Haruhiism.

West Nagato is ranked 11,978^th in the world and 364^th in The East Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 89.28 on the Human Development Index.
