The Unceasing Sweatshop of Absolute Horror is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Jhimothy with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.823 billion Workers 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Detroit. The average income tax rate is 34.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Working economy, worth 438 trillion Food Stamps 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 155,463 Food Stamps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Supreme Leader Jhimothy's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, there's never enough space in space, politicians' smiles are legally considered a form of disaster relief, and residents are readily ratting out rats in restaurants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Absolute Horror's national animal is the Wage Slave, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Prosperity Gospel.

Absolute Horror is ranked 83,248^th in the world and 43^rd in Lone Wolves United for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,185 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
