The Democracy of West Wirral is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Cory Simons with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enslaved workforce, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.031 billion West Wirralians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Veris. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse West Wirralian economy, worth 294 trillion Pounds a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 73,164 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional, among slaves 'bastard' is an honorific rather than an insult, welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, and executions are marked by quiet dignity and maybe a final round or two of whist. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West Wirral's national animal is the Shark, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is None.

West Wirral is ranked 30,801^st in the world and 81^st in Europeia for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 5,829.22 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
