The Federal Republic of The Occidentale is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Prime Minister Jean-Charles Jacques with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cynical population of 5.424 billion Western Europeans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capitale. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Western European economy, worth 805 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 148,528 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Punting clubs and posh accents have been added to the national curriculum, clothing with a scarlet S is popular among repentant body shamers, the recycled air in planes is nauseating, and the ongoing space elevator construction project has elevated the national debt to all new levels. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Occidentale's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Occidentale is ranked 21,944^th in the world and 2^nd in Negative for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,168.64 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
