The Awakening Power of Jokesters is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Marc Fallon with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, flagrant waste-dumping, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.08 billion Jokestersians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bunker 77. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Jokestersian economy, worth a remarkable 4,664 trillion Denarii 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 amazing 331,319 Denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
If you go into the woods today you're sure of a big surprise, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Marc Fallon's throne, children have nightmares about the eerie red glow and constant whirring of newly-installed machines, and illegal immigration remains a hot topic. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jokesters's national animal is the Jaguar, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Jokesters is ranked 3,732nd in the world and 105th in the Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 123.98 law-abiding acts per hour.
