The Democratic Republic of Western France is a gargantuan, genial nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 23.189 billion Western Franks love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Liberté au nord. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Western Frank economy, worth a remarkable 3,581 trillion Francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 154,454 Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Euthanasia is illegal, the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, and the government has declared its commitment to multilateralism. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Western France's national animal is the Griffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Western France is ranked 334,371^st in the world and 1,442^nd in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -11.76 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
