The Queen's State of Joao da Nova is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and complete lack of prisons. The hard-working, democratic population of 31.145 billion Joao da Novans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 8.8%.

The very strong Joao da Novan economy, worth a remarkable 1,580 trillion betales a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 50,738 betales, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

None has been named as Joao da Nova's national religion, Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in Joao da Nova, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and the government is avowedly atheist. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Joao da Nova's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is none.

Joao da Nova is ranked 138,704^th in the world and 358^th in United States of America for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -2 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
