The Goated Zone of Workuta Thob is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Colossal Craig with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.242 billion Thobians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thobopolis. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Workuta Thobian economy, worth 159 trillion gollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 128,104 gollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every child sleeps with a gun to protect themselves from the monster under the bed, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying, and sea side cafes are required by law to close during summer. Crime is totally unknown. Workuta Thob's national animal is the goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Workuta Thob is ranked 286,826^th in the world and 536^th in Horizon for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.71 kickbacks per hour.
