The Federal Republic of Western Balkania is a small, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and daily referendums. The democratic population of 45 million West Balkanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. The average income tax rate is 20.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong West Balkan economy, worth 2.83 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 62,823 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways, disability advocates are not amused that they are told to be dependent on West Balkanians's kindness, and there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Western Balkania's national animal is the Double-Headed Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Western Balkania is ranked 263,760^th in the world and 1,182^nd in Europe for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.72 kickbacks per hour.
