Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Tropican Republic of Joukaai is a massive, economically powerful nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.238 billion are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Religion & Spirituality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Joukaai City. The average income tax rate is 35%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology.

The government has undertaken a massive education and health program to combat VODAIS, traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways, wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby, and Joukaai has designated Joukaai City as its capital city. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Joukaai's national animal is the The Toucan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the Tropica.

Joukaai is ranked 1,551st in Osiris and 76,557th in the world for Best Weather, with -28 Metres of Sunlight Above Expected.
