The Federation of Westeri is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Robert Loans with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 812 million Westerians 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 Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Old Kreigs. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Westerian economy, worth 90.3 trillion Teris a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 111,180 Teris, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle", promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service, the nation was recently voted "most likely to betray its allies", and five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Westeri's national animal is the Grey Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Westeri is ranked 22,416^th in the world and 495^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,021.23 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
