The United Socialist States of IWCA 044 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, unlimited-speed roads, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.157 billion IWCA 044ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 65.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming IWCA 044ian economy, worth 279 trillion kronor a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,430 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The urinary fragrance of seedier establishments is thankfully hidden by the smell of stale smoke, pulling weeds is seen as a threat to national security, citizens are encouraged to show displeasure with politicians by poking them with sharp metal sticks, and the nation has always been at war with Moltovea. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IWCA 044's national animal is the emu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

IWCA 044 is ranked 127,865^th in the world and 79^th in Radicalanian Workhouse for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,360.2 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
