The State of John Robertson is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of public education and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 22.089 billion John Robertsonians 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 minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The powerhouse John Robertsonian economy, worth 818 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Average income is 37,065 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 127,164 per year while the poor average 7,929, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, John Robertson has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of John Robertson in an international press conference. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. John Robertson's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

John Robertson is ranked 182,890^th in the world and 7^th in Tarawa for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
