The Sandy Lands of Western Saharan Desert is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 982 million Western Saharans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 15.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient west Saharan economy, worth 39.3 trillion Sands a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,979 Sands, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, human sacrifice to the metaphorical altar of Mammon ensures national prosperity, and private businesses are paving paradises to put up parking lots. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Western Saharan Desert's national animal is the Saharan Cow.

Western Saharan Desert is ranked 268,603^rd in the world and 532^nd in Vibonia for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -8.83 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
