The Neverending Quest of Journeyman is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 9.963 billion Journeymanians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 40.3%.

The all-consuming Journeymanian economy, worth 901 trillion somethings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 90,484 somethings, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Leader has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished, dubiously qualified East Lebatuckese doctors prescribe ice baths as a treatment for pneumonia, it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, and roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Journeyman's national animal is the something else, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Journeyman is ranked 118,090^th in the world and 1^st in WW3 people for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.91 law-abiding acts per hour.
