The Holy Joeyist Paradise of Joevala is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sultans of Swing with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 2.99 billion Joeyists have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlanta. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Joeyist economy, worth 590 trillion Beatles 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, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 197,420 Beatles, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Robots are a very unpopular costume choice for children's parties, anniversaries of major historical events pass unnoticed, prisoners due for execution often use their final statement to complain about soggy bread rolls, and angry disenfranchised AIs attempt to hijack the bodies of comatose hospital patients. Crime is totally unknown. Joevala's national animal is the Kangaroo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Joeyism.

Joevala is ranked 163,986^th in the world and 8,246^th in The North Pacific for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 23.26 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
