The Eternal Machine Empire of Autonomous Worker Drones is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Uzi Doorman with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, smutty television, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.901 billion Worker Drones 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Outpost 03. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.5%.

The thriving AWD economy, worth 518 trillion Scraps 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. 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 132,941 Scraps, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire, the government is telling wizards to put their heart into their work, and grandparents tell young ones tales of the good old days when people had cake on their birthday. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Autonomous Worker Drones's national animal is the Robo-roach, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of the Machine God.

Autonomous Worker Drones is ranked 48,453^rd in the world and 12^th in F7 Cliches and Community for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 68.5 Effective Tax Rate.
