The Politically Incoherent Fools of Just Guy is a massive, safe nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 3.566 billion are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although the Environment and Social Welfare are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggcha. The average income tax rate is 76%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Just Guy has designated Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggcha as its capital city, the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, and the study of medicine is popular throughout Just Guy. Crime is totally unknown. Just Guy's national animal is the Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Kanquren.

Just Guy is ranked 2,615th in Osiris and 94,764th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
