The Generation Kill of Western Republia is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Sgt Brad Iceman Colbert with an iron fist, and renowned for its vat-grown people, flagrant waste-dumping, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.105 billion Americans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baghdad. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.6%.

The powerhouse Western Republian economy, worth 837 trillion Freedom Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 164,104 Freedom Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

Terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors, napalm is the tool of choice for disabling eco-unfriendly forestry operations, tourist operators promise visitors tours of live burning shipwrecks and plane crash sites, and schoolchildren are arrested for possessing sidewalk chalk without a permit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Western Republia's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Democracy.

Western Republia is ranked 40,263rd in the world and 2,528th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.58 law-abiding acts per hour.
