The Democratic States of Westerhold is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Marcus Merides with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.933 billion Westerholdians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Starhaven. The average income tax rate is 54.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Westerholdian economy, worth 583 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 118,253 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, euthanasia is legal, loudmouthed journalists are given the chop, and only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Westerhold's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Westerhold is ranked 52,845th in the world and 871st in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 837.60545698772 days.
