The Meme of Worm House is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Lego Eda with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, keen interest in outer space, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.625 billion Worm Houseans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wormsfield. The average income tax rate is 64.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Worm Housean economy, worth 983 trillion snails 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 Retail, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. 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 114,054 snails, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government is expanding hungrily in its conquest of bread, thousands of former welfare recipients are in a revolutionary uproar as the rest of society is enjoying a hefty tax break, political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, and teach an angler how to phish and he can make a living. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Worm House's national animal is the owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cards.

Worm House is ranked 63,506^th in the world and 2^nd in Simulacrum for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 63.97 Effective Tax Rate.
