The Le Promised Land of Le Promised Land is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Joe with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 1.136 billion Le Promised Landians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Keys to the Kingdom. The average income tax rate is 66.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Le Promised Landian economy, worth 70.2 trillion wools a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 61,761 wools, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

"Joe got your tongue?" has become a popular idiom, research grant proposals read like political diatribes, all you have to do is pray to get into Le Promised Land, and the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Le Promised Land's national animal is the Vegetable, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Parodianity.

Le Promised Land is ranked 18,896th in the world and 231st in Europe for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,219.35 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
