The Republic of Joyeon is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Mo Jae-gi with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, sprawling nuclear power plants, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.208 billion Joyeonians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heoul. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Joyeonian economy, worth 308 trillion Wuns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 96,079 Wuns, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Supermarket milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, Mo Jae-gi is refusing to make decisions until the Moon is out of Capricorn, and bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Joyeon's national animal is the Jingun, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Hinduism.

Joyeon is ranked 134,930^th in the world and 6^th in Sentry for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,406.37 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
