The Republic of BIGJOHN is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its daily referendums, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 227 million MATHEUSES 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 Spirituality, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 35.0%.

The BIGJOHNian economy, worth 13.9 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 61,091 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Minor code style errors dull the house edge, the art of conversation has been rediscovered, liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world", and sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BIGJOHN's national animal is the donkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

BIGJOHN is ranked 136,680^th in the world and 55^th in Benigtopia for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 35.05 Effective Tax Rate.
