The Colony of West Wind Valley is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.258 billion West Wind Valleyians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.5%.
The frighteningly efficient West Wind Valleyian economy, worth 603 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 114,817 credits, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.
Five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, citizens re-mortgage their homes to buy lottery tickets, and love is a precious butterfly to be crushed under diplomatic protocol. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West Wind Valley's national animal is the purr4, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
West Wind Valley is ranked 89,915th in the world and 40th in Geimugyoukai for Most Stationary, with 503.362698681 days.
