The Republic of Empire of Johnland is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by John Bucketman with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 11.32 billion Johnlandians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry and Law & Order are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bucketville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Johnlandian economy, worth a remarkable 3,179 trillion Liberal Tears a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 280,893 Liberal Tears, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,824,444 per year while the poor average 17,235, a ratio of 105 to 1.

The government has certified several glow-in-the-dark athletes as drug free, it is a crime to operate a combine harvester while intoxicated, hit and run driving is no longer a crime - it's the national sport, and the country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Empire of Johnland's national animal is the Bucket, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Empire of Johnland is ranked 50,187^th in the world and 63^rd in The Black Hawks for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,427.07 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
