The Seven Kingdoms of Westeros and the Wall is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by King Joffrey Baratheon with an iron fist, and remarkable for its lack of airports, rampant corporate plagiarism, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.61 billion Westerosi are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of King's Landing. The average income tax rate is 49.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Westerosi economy, worth a remarkable 2,290 trillion Golden Stags a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 111,114 Golden Stags, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Five-hundred-twenty-five-thousand-six-hundred revivals is how theatre-goers measure a year, tourists outnumber citizens two to one, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from King Joffrey Baratheon's throne, and spotted owl meat is used as bait to lure wolves into traps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Westeros and the Wall's national animal is the Golden Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Faith of the Seven.

Westeros and the Wall is ranked 300,475th in the world and 28th in The Equator for Safest, scoring 7.3 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
