The Imperium of Unionized Socialist Workers is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by imperator Tyler Posadas with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, cynical population of 2.279 billion are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Architect . The average income tax rate is 99%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Political activists are routinely executed, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', the government pours millions of Labour vouchers into rehabilitation programs annually, and parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unionized Socialist Workers's national animal is the Gray wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Totalitarianism, and its currency is the Labour voucher.

Unionized Socialist Workers is ranked 1st in defense of the common good and 1,124th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 37 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
