Everyone lives in 'Associated homes' and works a six hour day mostly in cooperatives. Population control. Strict control on in-migration. Eugenics. Women work equally with men in all occupations. Ireland now part of the United Commonwealth of Great Britain and Ireland, but all four component units have some independent political institutions.
