The State of West-North is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its public floggings, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 15.119 billion West-Northians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The strong West-Northian economy, worth 896 trillion betales 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, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 59,269 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 381,996 per year while the poor average 3,715, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Voting is voluntary and West-North has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. West-North's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

West-North is ranked 242,114^th in the world and 8^th in North Rhine Westphalia for Safest, scoring 17.15 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
