The Centralized States of Western Justice is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Presidente Sanchez with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 2.365 billion Cowboys are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trials City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Western economy, worth 330 trillion Westdollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 139,634 Westdollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 442,725 per year while the poor average 33,577, a ratio of 13.2 to 1.

Soldiers are equipped with multi-million Westdollar battlesuits, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, the populace lives in fear of painful execution for minor offences, and crackheads chase drug-loaded drones in hopes of a lucky drop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Western Justice's national animal is the mustang, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Western Justice is ranked 103,491^st in the world and 2,124^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,685.28 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
