The Republic of West42 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies and daily referendums. The hard-nosed population of 4.54 billion West42ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 29.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient West42ian economy, worth 147 trillion baht a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,437 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, foreign leaders are advising that Leader's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, and holidays are regarded as the most miserable time of the year. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West42's national animal is the emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
West42 is ranked 243,607th in the world and 3,291st in Artificial Solar System for Most Stationary, with 20.81013945928 days.
