The Astral Realms of West Canadian is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Kairos with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate population of 7.056 billion Wesstians 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 Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of K'emk'emeláy. The average income tax rate is 80.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wesstian economy, worth 696 trillion Astral dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 98,716 Astral dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, bins outnumber trees in city parks, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, and designer truncheons are the latest law enforcement fashion craze. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West Canadian's national animal is the Nocturnattaq-assac star-patterned bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Illuminationism.

West Canadian is ranked 267,128^th in the world and 4,720^th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -150.62 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
