The Republic of West Anters is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 569 million West Antersians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 45.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient West Antersian economy, worth 67.6 trillion euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 118,827 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Matryoshka dolls resembling nested Death Stars are commonly sold, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, police regularly arrest families playing Monopoly, and funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals. Crime is totally unknown. West Anters's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

West Anters is ranked 25,742^nd in the world and 580^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,381.39 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
