The Oppressed Peoples of Joke is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 15.362 billion Jokeans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 72.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but stagnant Jokean economy, worth 260 trillion Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 16,985 Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Joke's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Joke is ranked 99,559th in the world and 3rd in regular chat official region for Most Stationary, with 439.56421867872 days.
