The United Provinces of Westport and Holland is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Jesse Rieken with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 4.253 billion Hollanders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westport. The average income tax rate is 61.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Hollandic economy, worth 207 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,875 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The police turn a blind eye to desecration if it's done in the name of religion or protest, would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here", racial and religious segregation has become rife as the various groups are loath to mingle, and virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Westport and Holland's national animal is the Stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Yahlism.

Westport and Holland is ranked 140,996th in the world and 697th in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,027.29 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
