The Colony of Worker bee 3 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.066 billion Worker bee 3ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 53.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Worker bee 3ian economy, worth 957 trillion honeys a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,642 honeys, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?", rumor has it that Leader has won three lotteries in a row, grade school teachers mark homework with red "CITATION NEEDED" stamps, and elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Worker bee 3's national animal is the bee larvae, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Worker bee 3 is ranked 22,088th in the world and 4th in Bee hive for Most Stationary, with 1,527.3850641396 days.
