The United Socialist States of IWCA 033 is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.997 billion IWCA 033ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 64.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient IWCA 033ian economy, worth 313 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,721 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Tombstones are ten feet high to accommodate the names of inhabitants, nocturnal light pollution is mostly blue, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, and the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IWCA 033's national animal is the tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

IWCA 033 is ranked 204,588th in the world and 35th in Radicalanian Workhouse for Most Stationary, with 42.1812924484 days.
