The Colony of Westersesssy is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.73 billion Westersesssyians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.4%.

The all-consuming Westersesssyian economy, worth 650 trillion euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 96,587 euros, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 644,879 per year while the poor average 5,478, a ratio of 117 to 1.

Heart attacks are regarded as a coming of age ritual, there's a lot of hot air coming from the Capitol Building, elephants with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped, and armoured pyjamas are in fashion amongst the nation's nobility. Crime is a serious problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Westersesssy's national animal is the elephant.

Westersesssy is ranked 13,548^th in the world and 112^th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 75,917.67 Standard Monetary Units.
