[edit] Overview

Dilbert, Alice, Wally, Dogbert and the Boss take a business trip to the fourth-world country Elbonia.

[edit] Plot

Dilbert, Alice, Wally and the Boss go to Elbonia, a fourth-world country which is covered in mud, where their factory is located to manufacture Gruntmasters. They discover the working conditions are horrendous, as the “Right” people have been horribly exploiting the Lefties, who are believed to be inferior because they are left-handed. Dilbert tries to help the Lefties rebel, but is arrested and sentenced to death, While Alice tries to save the babies from the Assembly line.

[edit] Trivia

While in this episode it is stated that Elbonia is a fourth-world country, in a strip of the Dilbert comic it was revealed that recently Elbonia was promoted from being a third world country to being a second world country (this is actually impossible since the second world status had to do with being a Soviet aligned state, and after the fall of the Soviet Union second world status has fallen out of use).
