The Democratic States of The Workd Government is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, vat-grown people, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 266 million Workers are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Workd Governmentian economy, worth 26.0 trillion Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 97,611 Credits, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 582,017 per year while the poor average 7,478, a ratio of 77.8 to 1.

The nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, ships no longer sail as no one wants to encounter Workd Governmentian pirates, university applicants are judged by how much they laugh at professors' tired jokes, and for just a few extra Credits Workers can get new driving records with their new cars. Crime is moderate. The Workd Government's national animal is the Rat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Workd Government is ranked 83,773^rd in the world and 78^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,597.45 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
