The Republic of West68 is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its suspicion of poets and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 4.496 billion West68ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 25.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient West68ian economy, worth 200 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 44,630 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
The government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, radio stations are forbidden to play anything with too much drum or bass, and citizens are forced to donate blood once every three months. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West68's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
West68 is ranked 247,311th in the world and 2nd in The Arlenish Sphere for Most Stationary, with 19.76734846 days.
