The Oppressed Peoples of Lee Joohee is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, zero percent divorce rate, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.557 billion Lee Jooheeans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 61.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Lee Jooheean economy, worth 298 trillion Silvers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 116,563 Silvers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, the government seizes the property of the recently deceased, the last thing Lee Jooheean soldiers hear before charging into battle is a preacher trying to convert them, and the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lee Joohee's national animal is the Pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lee Joohee is ranked 49,934th in the world and 15th in Mud Puddle 450 for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 20,349.81 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
