The Kingdom of Westica is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8.505 billion Westicans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The thriving Westican economy, worth 651 trillion Westicanss a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 76,654 Westicanss , but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 271,332 per year while the poor average 15,636, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Elections have been outlawed and the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Westica's national animal is the penguin, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Westica is ranked 12,471^st in the world and 12^th in matheo for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 8,315.32 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
