The Toxic Waste Dump of Jovuistan is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by President Miguel Velez with an even hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working population of 9.154 billion Jovu 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Miami. The average income tax rate is 62.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Jovu economy, worth 730 trillion Prendergolds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 79,852 Prendergolds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

All footpaths have tollbooths, editorials that criticize the government are legally obligated to display the "pants on fire" warning, aggressive promotion of global warming puts polar bears on thin ice, and beating a dead horse is a scientific endeavor. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jovuistan's national animal is the Jillbus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jovuistan is ranked 146,321^st in the world and 4,880^th in Osiris for Highest Crime Rates, with 2.47 Crimes Per Hour.
