The large but sluggish Unfinished Paperworkian economy, worth 454 trillion A4 Papers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 41,132 A4 Papers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Unfinished Paperwork, pregnant hitchhikers with signs requesting rides to "competent care" are a common sight on Unfinished Paperworkian roads, abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, and enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unfinished Paperwork's national animal is the Printer.
