The Colony of Worker bee 8 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 9.166 billion Worker bees 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Worker bee 8ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,104 trillion honeys 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 an impressive 120,489 honeys, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Aggravated apostrophe abusers are admonished and assaulted, adult magazines are having a sales resurgence as internet anonymity disappears, courses in how to boil water are popular for formerly microwave-reliant Worker bees, and candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Worker bee 8's national animal is the bee larvae, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Worker bee 8 is ranked 20,113^th in the world and 1^st in Bee hive for Lowest Crime Rates, with 89.62 law-abiding acts per hour.
