The Federal Republic of The West United States is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Lee with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 6.369 billion western Americans 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Washougal. The average income tax rate is 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient West United Statesian economy, worth 858 trillion US dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 134,860 US dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hundreds of thousands of convicts work as slaves in The West United States's many privately-owned prisons, a convict's trip to prison can be longer than the sentence, foreign workers are flooding in as US dollars flood out, and lifelong celibates are surprised to receive government-issue condoms in the post. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The West United States's national animal is the California Grizzly Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The West United States is ranked 279,406th in the world and 4,967th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -186.17 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
