The Kingdom of Joost Klein is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Keano with an even hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.836 billion Joost Kleinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Broekhans. The average income tax rate is 71.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Kleinian economy, worth 142 trillion British Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 77,634 British Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, the government's new "quiet competence" initiative has supporters and detractors alike reeling in confusion, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, and imitation is the sincerest form of felony. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Joost Klein's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Joost Klein is ranked 59,212^th in the world and 1^st in Kingdom of the Netherlands for Most Cultured, scoring 70 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
