The People's Republic of Weast Korea is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Bushrod Humperdink Smith IV with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, stringent health and safety legislation, and labour-free parental leave. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.038 billion Weast Koreans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Noodle. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.6%.

The sizeable but inefficient Weast Korean economy, worth 57.9 trillion Dogecoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 55,775 Dogecoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 161,531 per year while the poor average 15,261, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

The government is encouraging violence on television, citizens have an obligation to remain silent and anything they say may be used against them, internet moderators work overtime to remove memes comparing Bushrod Humperdink Smith IV to cartoon bears, and it is broadly agreed that tramp stamps are criminally undesirable. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Weast Korea's national animal is the Weast, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Weast Korea is ranked 301,954^th in the world and 948^th in Carcassonne for Nicest Citizens, with 0.41 average smiles per day.
