The Watchfires of Worker 0 is a titanic, efficient nation, renowned for its public floggings, avant-garde cinema, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, devout population of 18.58 billion Worker 0ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.9%.

The powerhouse Worker 0ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,677 trillion $$s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,311 $$s, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Religious bigotry is not allowed but bigotry against theism is encouraged, governments opposing Worker 0 are beset by rebels, funding for education has been redirected into the military, and you can bet your bottom dollar that gambling will cost you an arm and a leg. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Worker 0's national animal is the Death's-head hawkmoth, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Worker 0 is ranked 128,278^th in the world and 1^st in Anarchists for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 79.72 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
