The State of Westberg Empire is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by President Rosa Desantos with a fair hand, and notable for its public floggings, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 9.873 billion New Postlanders enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rosalina. The average income tax rate is 54.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Westberg Empirean economy, worth 372 trillion Pitas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 37,697 Pitas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The number of students attending university has reached a record high, nude art is becoming wildly popular, the travel industry is booming as pregnant women book tickets for "weekend trips" overseas, and President Rosa Desantos has just been declared ruler of Westberg Empire in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Westberg Empire's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Westberg Empire is ranked 241,405^th in the world and 77^th in Violetia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -5.42 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
