The Holy Paradise of Joevala is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Ringo Starr with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 17.105 billion Joeyists hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iris. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Joeyist economy, worth a remarkable 5,217 trillion Valies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 305,013 Valies, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,896,412 per year while the poor average 21,042, a ratio of 90.1 to 1.

Anyone with a tin cup can stop by the welfare office to have it filled with coins, the rich are often stinkingly so, crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, and structures are raised on promises. Crime is totally unknown. Joevala's national animal is the Kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Joeyism.

Joevala is ranked 325,405^th in the world and 4,494^th in The North Pacific for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 19.31 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
