The Free Earldom of WestIreland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Earl Daniel Mcyoruks with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, soft-spoken computers, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 17.151 billion Westians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Galway. The average income tax rate is 2.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Westian economy, worth a remarkable 2,925 trillion Irish Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 170,588 Irish Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', the news is showing footage of Earl Daniel Mcyoruks bullying an old man to the point of tears, the country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state, and the government baselessly accuses foreign dignitaries of being assassins. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. WestIreland's national animal is the Sheep, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Celtic Pantheon of Gods.

WestIreland is ranked 289,706^th in the world and 28^th in Ireland for Lowest Crime Rates, with 32.36 law-abiding acts per hour.
