The Republic of Please work for us is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, otherworldly petting zoo, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.94 billion 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 Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grise-Rupert's Land. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Please work for usian economy, worth a remarkable 1,013 trillion used coupons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 257,246 used coupons, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,189,544 per year while the poor average 5,375, a ratio of 407 to 1.

Agricultural employees work for peanuts, bedknobs and broomsticks are often seen flying through the air, people say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces, and loss of the ability to speak is a common affliction of the elderly. 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 is also the nation's favorite main course.

Please work for us is ranked 326,687th in the world and 4th in Aspen for Nicest Citizens, with 0.27 average smiles per day.
