The Republic of West Themond is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, devout population of 269 million West Themondians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 60.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The West Themondian economy, worth 11.0 trillion deniers a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,784 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, religious households enthusiastically use whips in private, citizens who refuse to vote are guillotined, and the government regrets to say that it is forced to make cuts to citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West Themond's national animal is the South American Rattlesnake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
West Themond is ranked 227,187th in the world and 626th in Concord for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -4.73 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
