The Kingdom of Westrogothia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King Styrbjörn II with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 23.612 billion Westrogothians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Göteborg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.1%.

The very strong Westrogothian economy, worth a remarkable 1,219 trillion kroner a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Soda Sales. Average income is 51,632 kroner, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 157,726 per year while the poor average 13,100, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Billions of krones are being poured into a space program, King Styrbjörn II has just been declared ruler of Westrogothia in an international press conference, abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances, and Roman Catholicism has been named as Westrogothia's national religion. Crime is moderate. Westrogothia's national animal is the lion and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Westrogothia is ranked 161,570th in the world and 29th in Terranova for Highest Average Incomes, with 51,632.44 Standard Monetary Units.
