The Commonwealth of West riko is a small, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 36 million West rikoans 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 medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.5%.

The strong West rikoan economy, worth 2.14 trillion baht a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is 59,512 baht, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and citizens wouldn't recognise Leader if they passed one another on the street. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West riko's national animal is the giraffe parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

West riko is ranked 202,697^th in the world and 377^th in Refugia for Most Income Equality, scoring 14.25 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
