The Truly Free State of Western Scientificum is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Nobody with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 25.798 billion Western Scientists live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

Western Scientificum's national animal is the Great Silver Bird, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is a minor religion.
