The Queendom of The Western Ocean is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 7.603 billion Western Oceanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.8%.

The strong Western Oceanian economy, worth 383 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 50,465 betales, with the richest citizens earning 8.8 times as much as the poorest.

All tariffs have been abolished, The Western Ocean has designated Westminster as its capital city, conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue, and midnight raids drag couples from their homes in the name of decency. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Western Ocean's national animal is the whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

The Western Ocean is ranked 130,058^th in the world and 1^st in The Western Ocean for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 811.31 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
