The Federation of Western Noobx2 is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 11.627 billion Western Noobx2ians 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 large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Noobland. The average income tax rate is 65.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Western Noobx2ian economy, worth 347 trillion Guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 29,919 Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Research grant proposals read like political diatribes, workers tend to schedule naps during all-hands meetings, water fights now end with thousands dead, and death row is annually emptied to feed the nation's hunger for televised murder-games. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Western Noobx2's national animal is the Addax, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Western Noobx2 is ranked 124,382^nd in the world and 167^th in Chicken overlords for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 897.09 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
