The District of Western District is a titanic, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of public education and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 18.644 billion Western Districtians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The powerhouse Western Districtian economy, worth 755 trillion Juno aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 40,527 Juno aurums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 139,041 per year while the poor average 8,670, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Voting is voluntary and Western District has designated District City as its capital city. Crime is a problem. Western District's national animal is the quick pink fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Western District is ranked 267,616^th in the world and 1^st in Upper Peninsula for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -7.07 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
