Western Enderron, also known as the West Coast, is a census division and cultural region in Enderron, comprising the four prefectures that have coastlines on the western Pacific Ocean. They are, from north to south: Avalon, Flinders, Cooksland and Westhaven.
The region is known for its culture and history which have distinguished it in some ways from the rest of Enderron. The ethnic heritage of Western Enderron is predominantly English (in particular) and Dutch to an extent that is not seen elsewhere in the country. It is also generally regarded as the most religious and most socially conservative region of Enderron.
Historically, Western Enderron relied heavily on the agriculture (particularly in the north), manufacturing and maritime transport industries. The region was highly rural outside of the major cities until the mid-20th century. The shrinking of its industrial sector since the 1980s has caused a decline in economic growth in the region, and it is often referred to as Enderron's Rust Belt. The prefectures have since moved revitalise their economies by expanding on their service, tourism and transport industries.
