The Dictatorship of Westbeech is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Lilie Korban with an iron fist, and notable for its flagrant waste-dumping, sprawling nuclear power plants, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.359 billion Westbeechians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Koriban. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Westbeechian economy, worth a remarkable 2,229 trillion Beechians a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 196,305 Beechians, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 560,433 per year while the poor average 54,800, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.

Academics have a bone to pick with free market entrepreneurs, the government seizes all major gold finds, the population's jaw muscles put sharks to shame, and homeowners on prime real estate have been seen dodging giant bulldozers with cartoon characters painted on them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Westbeech's national animal is the Slokican, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Korbanism.

Westbeech is ranked 10,656^th in the world and 15^th in The Alliance of Dictators for Most Stationary, with 1,906.84681433948 days.
