The Sovereign State of Peoples Republic of Joyea is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by General Secretary Wann Khaoma with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.568 billion Joyeans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Joyea City. The average income tax rate is 81.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Joyean economy, worth a remarkable 2,693 trillion Darras a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 214,303 Darras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is considered unpatriotic to learn a foreign language, the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago, and the only crimes that get investigated are doughnut heists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Peoples Republic of Joyea's national animal is the Joyean Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Joyean Orthodox Christian Church.

Peoples Republic of Joyea is ranked 6,496th in the world and 5th in Anime Nations Against Liberals for Most Cultured, scoring 146 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
