The Federal Republic of The West Indies Union is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-working population of 227 million West Indians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.1%.

The very strong West Indian economy, worth 16.4 trillion West Indian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 72,213 West Indian Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Immigrants are told to pull themselves up by their worn-out budget bootstraps, a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion, extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, and there is no other place with more lab coats per square mile than former houses of worship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The West Indies Union's national animal is the Pelican, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The West Indies Union is ranked 124,809^th in the world and 180^th in The Kodiak Republic for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,374.88 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
