The Federation of TheKeyToJoy is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Chad Chungus with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, fear of technology, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, devout population of 1.319 billion TheKeyToJoyians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming TheKeyToJoyian economy, worth 127 trillion Keys a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 96,503 Keys, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The standardised national curriculum requires that all-male classes be taught why they have periods, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, the state auctions off combat drones to fund war reparations, and the national anthem is a rather effective sleeping aid. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TheKeyToJoy's national animal is the Joymen, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Joyism.

TheKeyToJoy is ranked 166,551st in the world and 6,195th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 998.74 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
