The Joy of Joylaria is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.276 billion Joylarians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Spirituality, although Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 49.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Joylarian economy, worth 4.42 trillion tearss of children a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 3,462 tearss of children, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Joylaria's national animal is the whatever this thing is.

Joylaria is ranked 198,187^th in the world and 7^th in Joylaria for Largest Populations, with 1.28 billion capita.
