The Commonwealth of Worklaw is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 15.711 billion Worklawians 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 large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 48.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Worklawian economy, worth 150 trillion Zwarties 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 9,541 Zwarties, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children who express a belief in Santa are labelled 'delusional cultists', the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, money can't buy love but mercy is entirely negotiable, and the national census includes an opt-in to join the government-run dating service. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Worklaw's national animal is the Harpy Eagle.

Worklaw is ranked 70,094^th in the world and 3^rd in Tsumonrin for Nicest Citizens, with 15.9 average smiles per day.
