The Republic of Western Gortland is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mikhail Yurievich Sorokin with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ban on automobiles, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 2.121 billion Western Gortlandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zheltorossiysk. The average income tax rate is 65.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The Western Gortlandian economy, worth 102 trillion rubles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,478 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Mikhail Yurievich Sorokin has just been declared ruler of Western Gortland in an international press conference, you're only as old as you feel, immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, and commemorative mugs remembering last year's Black Friday Crockery Riots are a best seller this year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Western Gortland's national animal is the duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Western Gortland is ranked 83,618th in the world and 1,987th in the Rejected Realms for Most Patriotic, with 17.06 flags saluted per person per day.
