The Sunset Republic of New Westmore is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kit with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 4.951 billion Westmorians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dalesburg. The average income tax rate is 94.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Westmorian economy, worth 654 trillion Westmorian Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 132,280 Westmorian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Condos feature wall-mounted cages containing endangered animals, government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, and 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Westmore's national animal is the anthropomorphic fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

New Westmore is ranked 230,747^th in the world and 45^th in Cordone for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.84 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
