The Republic of Please work for us is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, vat-grown people, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 396 million Please work for usians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grise-Rupert's Land. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Please work for usian economy, worth 57.3 trillion used coupons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 144,595 used coupons, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 593,006 per year while the poor average 23,289, a ratio of 25.5 to 1.

Blind students are at a disadvantage now that test papers printed in braille have been discontinued, Jennifer Government is a bestseller, concussed geniusball players cannot remember their lineup position, and criminals are really screwed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Please work for us's national animal is the genius, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
