The Duchy of Isle of Westland is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Richard Bryant 12th Duke of Westland with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, devout population of 5.555 billion Westlanders have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lanmouth. The average income tax rate is 28.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Isle of Westlandian economy, worth 441 trillion Pounds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 79,554 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Renaissance frescos are being chiselled off public walls, the dartboard at the Isle of Westlandian Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of Richard Bryant 12th Duke of Westland's face, legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, and citizens sell their moldy bread as homemade penicillin. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Isle of Westland's national animal is the Red Grouse, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Isle of Westland is ranked 71,473^rd in the world and 16^th in England for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.86 law-abiding acts per hour.
