The Republic of Factory Worker 34 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its public floggings, ritual sacrifices, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.955 billion Factory Worker 34ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Administration and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Public Transport are ignored. The average income tax rate is 37.6%.
The strong Factory Worker 34ian economy, worth 222 trillion cards 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 a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, Retail, and Basket Weaving. 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 56,378 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.
Politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, poaching has been on the rise after animals from the nation's zoos were released into the wild, the nation solves other countries' human rights problems with a generous dose of violence, and sex offenders find themselves cut off from the ability to repeat their crimes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Factory Worker 34's national animal is the cards, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Factory Worker 34 is ranked 210,060th in the world and 1,152nd in TPFKAQ for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 34.16 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
