The Kingdom of Westbatten is a titanic, safe nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, ubiquitous missile silos, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, devout population of 12.736 billion Westbattenians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Defense, Administration, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rockfeller. The average income tax rate is 35.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Westbattenian economy, worth 715 trillion Lyres a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,185 Lyres, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Students who refuse to pray are expelled from school, the government is lending a hand to private industry, Xiahe Demoniated Worship has been named as Westbatten's national religion, and almost half of the child population live rough on the streets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Westbatten's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Xiahe Demoniated Worship.

Westbatten is ranked 62,982nd in the world and 6th in Of Books and Stories for Most Cultured, scoring 69 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
