The Republic of Johns Island4 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, soft-spoken computers, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.892 billion Johns Island4ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 66.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Johns Island4ian economy, worth 236 trillion baht 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. 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 an impressive 125,029 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Johns Island4's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
