The Kingdom of Joaozinho is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Dom João II with a fair hand, and renowned for its closed borders, vat-grown people, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 6.022 billion Joaozians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Industry, with Administration, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Joãolândia. The average income tax rate is 91.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Joaozinho economy, worth a remarkable 1,984 trillion euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Information Technology, Retail, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 329,513 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Murderers with law degrees can be seen swinging the gavel in courts, white strait-jackets are the new orange jumpsuits, the amount welfare recipients spend on fertilizer has exploded, and the rich and poor vomit into separate bags. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Joaozinho's national animal is the cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Joaozinho is ranked 119,621st in the world and 39th in Arakeia for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 58.11 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
