The The Kingdom of targetwest of Targetwest is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by PRIME MINISTER Nigel Farage with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 5.664 billion Targets 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, 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 City of Sunderland. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Targetwestian economy, worth 917 trillion Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 161,994 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Loud Patriotic Music Day has been ranked the seventh best new holiday of the year, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, there is a growing belief that mothers love their children more than fathers, and children are often punished for the sins of the fathers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Targetwest's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is All FAITHS.

Targetwest is ranked 8,044th in the world and 13th in The League for Most Corrupt Governments, with 174.82 kickbacks per hour.
