The United Socialist States of IWCA 048 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.963 billion IWCA 048ians 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. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.8%.

The frighteningly efficient IWCA 048ian economy, worth 284 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,100 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.

War memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping, the only soporific permitted during sermons is the preacher's voice, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, and many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IWCA 048's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

IWCA 048 is ranked 204,813th in the world and 50th in Radicalanian Workhouse for Most Stationary, with 42.16620218028 days.
