The Astral Realms of West Canadian is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Astaraīos Açeilles-juch-Jantriné with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and national health service. The compassionate population of 5.926 billion Wesstians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Astraeas-Nocturna. The average income tax rate is 75.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Wesstian economy, worth 580 trillion Astral dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,985 Astral dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, the acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community, and consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West Canadian's national animal is the Aedosterrife albatross, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Illuminationism.

West Canadian is ranked 36,053^rd in the world and 1,272^nd in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 192.89 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
