Westven is a city in north-central Mayotte and is the fourth-largest city in the country after Blythe, Bettencourt, and Bourgueux with a population of 336,000 people. The city was founded in the 1500s in the Mayottean kingdom, though the area known as Westven has been continuously inhabited for thousands of years. The citystate of Westven was a major faction in the Fifty Years War of 1337 to 1389. Trading hands between kingdoms for the next several hundred years, including between the Mayotteans, Auraineans, Drambenburgians, and Parabocans, it became a battleground in the World War. Under the status of Zamastanian control, the city grew into a regional hub of commerce and transporation. With the Bettencourt movement and the independence of Mayotte, Westven's importance as a city has increased.

Westven's economic heritage is rooted in manufacturing. Industrial artifacts are in public places throughout the city as a celebration of its manufacturing history. Westven's economy has diversified to include new high-value economic clusters. In addition to Westven's internationally recognized finance and insurance and manufacturing clusters, digital media and health science clusters are emerging within the city. Westven has a humid continental climate of the warm summer subtype; large seasonal differences are seen, usually warm and humid summers and cold to occasionally very cold winters. Winter-like conditions generally last from the mid-December until mid-March, while summer temperatures generally occur from mid-May to close to the end of September.
