The Uncompromising Decisions of Jontopiary is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by GodEmperor Jon with an even hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, daily referendums, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate population of 17.446 billion Jontopiaryians 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 Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jontopiary Prime. The average income tax rate is 94.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Jontopiaryian economy, worth a remarkable 3,553 trillion Jontoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an amazing 203,694 Jontoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, undersea volcanoes receive strongly worded letters for violating environmental regulations, caps with skulls on them are the height of fashion, and toilet paper is considered a non-essential item in the embargo against Brasilistan. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jontopiary's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Jontopiary is ranked 3,535th in the world and 177th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 125.33 law-abiding acts per hour.
