The Eternal Machine Empire of Autonomous Worker Drones is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Uzi Doorman with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.824 billion Worker Drones are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Outpost 03. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.5%.

The thriving AWD economy, worth 508 trillion Scraps a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 132,941 Scraps, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire, the government is telling wizards to put their heart into their work, and grandparents tell young ones tales of the good old days when people had cake on their birthday. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Autonomous Worker Drones's national animal is the Robo-roach, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of the Machine God.

Autonomous Worker Drones is ranked 159,401^st in the world and 14^th in F7 Cliches and Community for Largest Populations, with 3.82 billion capita.
