The Federal States of Western America is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its public floggings, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 5.845 billion Western Americans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Welfare, with Education, Defense, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.7%.
The very strong Western American economy, worth 379 trillion FS Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 64,868 FS Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 208,638 per year while the poor average 15,275, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.
Voting is voluntary, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, and international collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Western America. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Western America's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Western America is ranked 151,336th in the world and 1st in Imperial Spring for Most Stationary, with 155.85401830892 days.
