The People's Republic of Joseph World is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Chairman Johnson with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.832 billion Josephians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Skyhall. The average income tax rate is 93.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Josephian economy, worth a remarkable 1,785 trillion Gils 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 dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 150,864 Gils, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Barbers who trim a few inches of hair bill the government for their labor, octogenarian swimsuit models insist that they've still got it, children are disappointed to learn that cavemen never had a yabba-dabba-doo time riding dinosaurs to work, and the Joseph World Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Joseph World's national animal is the Quagsium, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Joseph World is ranked 3,150th in the world and 40th in The Communist Bloc for Most Cultured, scoring 212 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
