The Federal Republic of Western Balkania is a small, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and daily referendums. The democratic population of 26 million West Balkanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 20.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong West Balkan economy, worth 1.40 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 53,732 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Flipping a coin to make a decision leads to a referral to Gambling Addiction Services, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, the acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community, and homeowners on prime real estate have been seen dodging giant bulldozers with cartoon characters painted on them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Western Balkania's national animal is the Double-Headed Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Western Balkania is ranked 74,468^th in the world and 758^th in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,890.85 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
