The Sovereign Kingdom of Westnesia is a gargantuan, genial nation, renowned for its national health service, smutty television, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic population of 31.446 billion Westnesians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bruw. The average income tax rate is 94.5%.

The powerhouse Westnesian economy, worth a remarkable 2,857 trillion Bruwer Guildens a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 90,869 Bruwer Guildens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, unstable couples are known to break up over which one gets parental leave, birth rates have hit an all-time low, and teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Westnesia's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Westnesia is ranked 6,837^th in the world and 360^th in Osiris for Safest, scoring 124.24 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
