The Steam Train To Nowhere of D037 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Adam West with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 11.582 billion Westies 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Park West. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 56.2%.
The all-consuming Westish economy, worth a remarkable 1,187 trillion Banks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,529 Banks, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.
The traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face, what's in your genes matters more than what's in your jeans, nocturnal light pollution is mostly blue, and cheese lovers have a case of the bleus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. D037's national animal is the Cheetah, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Westerly.
D037 is ranked 190,403rd in the world and 23rd in Windows for Most Beautiful Environments, with 480.67 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
