The Kingdom of West Astrie is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 491 million West Astriens are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 40.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The West Astriean economy, worth 22.4 trillion Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,592 Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
West Astrie has designated West Astrie City as its capital city, vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, conversion therapy coupons are a popular present for coming of age ceremonies, and prices for nearly everything reach all-time highs as business tax breaks are discontinued. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West Astrie's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
West Astrie is ranked 27,921st in the world and 1st in Kazi Syed Mrinmoy Ornob Amin Miah Nama for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 5,281.44 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
