The Republic of Djas40 is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 4.071 billion Djas40ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Djas40ian economy, worth 191 trillion guilders a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,031 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, a ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, prisons are filled with the cackles and sobs of a deranged inmate population, and escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Djas40's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Djas40 is ranked 145,359^th in the world and 5^th in Retrocomputers for Smartest Citizens, with 30.5 quips per hour.
