The Republic of Please work for us is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, vat-grown people, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 272 million Please work for usians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Please work for usian economy, worth 36.8 trillion used coupons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 135,408 used coupons, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 694,163 per year while the poor average 14,483, a ratio of 47.9 to 1.

Government ministers have eclectic tastes in curtains, online terrorists are automatically assigned adverts for cheap balaclavas, the justice of Please work for us is considered superior to that of other nations, and the army is spending millions cloning khaki-colored dinosaurs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Please work for us's national animal is the genius, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Please work for us is ranked 297,208th in the world and 148th in Aspen for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 44.79 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
