The Empire of The JVP is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Augusta with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, stringent health and safety legislation, and labour-free parental leave. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 27.385 billion JVPians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ferris. The average income tax rate is 77.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient JVPian economy, worth a remarkable 5,145 trillion Pinces a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 187,908 Pinces, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs, engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy, singles on the dating scene no longer worry about looking their age, and only those who apply can study applied maths. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The JVP's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

The JVP is ranked 10,158th in the world and 624th in Balder for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 5,451.46 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
