The Socialist Union of Javokia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Comrade Larbis with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 4.454 billion Javoks are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jamesburg. The average income tax rate is 74.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Javok economy, worth 672 trillion Yastasans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 150,910 Yastasans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government funds large training centres to turn Geese into functioning members of society, works of historical fiction contain a surprising lack of historical figures, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, and the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Javokia's national animal is the Goose, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Manichaeism.
Javokia is ranked 125,816th in the world and 196th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 933.82 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
