The Federation of West Sprint is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.671 billion West Sprintians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Liron. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.
The powerhouse West Sprintian economy, worth 920 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 106,153 dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 758,725 per year while the poor average 4,858, a ratio of 156 to 1.
Heart attacks are regarded as a coming of age ritual, the Federal Council of West Sprint has been announced as the new Head of State, politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, and sheep-like political loyalists repeat the mantra "one wheel bad, three wheels good". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West Sprint's national animal is the Brondingon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
West Sprint is ranked 281,528th in the world and 54th in European Union for Most Beautiful Environments, with 5.29 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
