The Workers Haven

The People's Republic of The Workers Haven is a small, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, enslaved workforce, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 36 million Workers 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 69.4%.

The sizeable but sluggish Working economy, worth 1.10 trillion Won a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 30,645 Won, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

The nightly news reports prosaically on the government blindly throwing money at despotic kidnappers, motorcycle riders are required to wear so much gear they've been nicknamed "Stay Pufts", rolling boulders up hills is the national sport, and kids who move from attending a public school in the city to the country often struggle in goat milking class. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Workers Haven's national animal is the Siberian Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Workers Haven is ranked 292,124th in the world and 8th in o slatainparshek for Highest Average Incomes, with 30,645.32 Standard Monetary Units.
