The Grand Republic of The United Republic of Westend is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by The People's Parliament with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, rampant corporate plagiarism, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 17.512 billion Westendians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Healthcare, and Industry are also considered important, while Defense is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Porto Libero. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Westendian economy, worth a remarkable 4,898 trillion Sovereigns a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 279,729 Sovereigns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The ruling party has a devil of a time keeping order in the ranks, reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, and motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours. Crime is totally unknown. The United Republic of Westend's national animal is the Dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is The Light Of Liberty.

The United Republic of Westend is ranked 813th in the world and 14th in the West Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 409 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
