Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Antarctica Founders of Joop is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Joop Polarbear with an even hand, and remarkable for its happy-go-lucky citizens. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 17.732 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, liberal, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Icetown. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Gambling and Automobile Manufacturing.

Young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, citizens must pay to enjoy Joop's pristine beaches, and the controversial show 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?' has become wildly popular. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. Joop's national animal is the Polar Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Atheism, and its currency is the Polar Crown.

Joop is ranked 103rd in Antarctica and 93,731st in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring -208 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
