The IM VERY POOR PERSON of Western View is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by John Fredrickson with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 2.707 billion Wesserns are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wessernia. The average income tax rate is 62.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Wessernian economy, worth 246 trillion Westerns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,198 Westerns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers, the question of 'what is John Fredrickson's favorite color?' has been given a priority rating of burnt-orange, and cheese has become the new icon of political dissent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Western View's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Wessen and Valmonry.

Western View is ranked 223,770th in the world and 152nd in Corsair for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,897.95 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
