The Swirling Shining Splendor of Red Star of the West is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Treebeard and Friends with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 19.99 billion Red Star of the Westians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Red Staria. The average income tax rate is 97.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Red Star of the Westian economy, worth a remarkable 3,319 trillion Red Stars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 166,045 Red Stars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Meetings are often scheduled for "about four-ish" following complete conversion to sundials, Treebeard and Friends is quite hard to get a hold of, truancy officers have a hard time catching children trained in advanced camouflage skills, and students at universities think exercise bikes are pieces of abstract art. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Red Star of the West's national animal is the Chimera, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Flying Spaghetti Chimera.

Red Star of the West is ranked 20,825th in the world and 4th in Philosophy 115 for Most Stationary, with 1,582.49983442168 days.
