The Determined democracy of The Mejobsworth is a gargantuan, genial nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 15.083 billion enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Social Welfare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46%. 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.

Elections have been outlawed. Crime is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. The Mejobsworth's national animal is the Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the pound.

The Mejobsworth is ranked 15th in Yorkshire and 64,758th in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 2 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
