The Free Land of Joseph Story is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its burgeoning Giraffe population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 15.696 billion Joseph Storyians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.
The tiny, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.6%.
The very strong Joseph Storyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,027 trillion Platinums a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 65,455 Platinums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 199,953 per year while the poor average 16,608, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.
Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Joseph Story's national animal is the Giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Joseph Story is ranked 84,686th in the world and 249th in Memeland United for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,589.37 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
