The Eurasian Socialist Republic of The Joeanian Republic is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Scarlett Baker with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, rampant corporate plagiarism, and public floggings. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 2.291 billion Eruasians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nove. The average income tax rate is 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eurasian economy, worth 372 trillion Eurasian Dimes a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 162,639 Eurasian Dimes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The 'sing-a-long with Scarlett Baker' album is a popular souvenir, aging citizens are celebrating the end of the 'Early Bird War', at least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Scarlett Baker's wardrobe, and litter collection has replaced fast food as the most popular after-school job. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Joeanian Republic's national animal is the Joeanian Shepherd, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Joeanian Republic is ranked 6,590^th in the world and 23^rd in Institute of Cellulose for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 100.2 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
