Work became compulsory for all in Britain after a new party seized power. Anyone who refused to work would be imprisoned. To ensure maximum productivity, workers were not allowed breaks and had to eat while continuing to work. Additionally, bedpans were installed in workers' pants so they could relieve themselves without stopping work, creating a terrible odor that was sprayed with air freshener. Daydreaming was also banned and punishable by prison time, as the new authoritarian government sought to strictly control every aspect of citizens' lives.
