The Republic of Army of john is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working population of 1.741 billion Army of johnians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.7%.

The strong Army of johnian economy, worth 80.0 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 45,947 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 150,998 per year while the poor average 10,482, a ratio of 14.4 to 1.

The nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, the police force is on a recruitment drive, the entire entry for Army of john in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', and childish pranks are no laughing matter. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Army of john's national animal is the porpoise.

Army of john is ranked 290,850th in the world and 13,512th in Balder for Smartest Citizens, with 18.5 quips per hour.
