The People's Republic of NewLandofWorker is a mid-sized, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical population of 68 million NewLandofWorkerians 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 enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 72.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish NewLandofWorkerian economy, worth 1.64 trillion CIEDCS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 24,144 CIEDCS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Blind dates tend to result in bruised shins, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, students everywhere have been despairing after the recent ban on video games, and the populace lives in fear of painful execution for minor offences. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NewLandofWorker's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

NewLandofWorker is ranked 312,114^th in the world and 5^th in C I E D for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.25 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
