The Colony of Worker bee 7 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enslaved workforce, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.207 billion Worker bee 7ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Worker bee 7ian economy, worth 953 trillion honeys a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Furniture Restoration.

Average income is an impressive 103,580 honeys, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 367,288 per year while the poor average 21,071, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.
