The Sultanate of International Socialist Workers is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 222 million International Socialist Workersians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 70.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped International Socialist Workersian economy, worth 7.21 trillion freedom bucks 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. 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 32,474 freedom bucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A baby's first breath is also a baby's first felony, getting a haircut is a punishable offence, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, and engineers are reinventing the wheel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. International Socialist Workers's national animal is the human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

International Socialist Workers is ranked 281,138^th in the world and 1,357^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -94.34 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
