The Occidental People's Republic of Josepania

“Pax Populi, Pietas Populi, Prosperitas Populi.”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Occidental People's Republic of Josepania is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by El Presidente Jose David Costantino with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, sprawling nuclear power plants, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, humorless population of 28.316 billion Josepanians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Palmira. The average income tax rate is 67.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Josepanian economy, worth a remarkable 7,901 trillion gold pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 279,049 gold pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The dartboard at the Josepanian Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of El Presidente Jose David Costantino's face, bike rage is all the rage, El Presidente Jose David Costantino panders to nontraditional families, and government ministers are regularly seen in the streets confessing their sins and hammering missiles into plow-shares. Crime is totally unknown. Josepania's national animal is the seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Communionist Liberationist Catholicism.

Josepania is ranked 2,358^th in the world and 45^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 3,392.86 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
