The Holy Paradise of Joevala is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Paul McCartney with a fair hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, pith helmet sales, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 17.033 billion Joeyists live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iris. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Joeyist economy, worth a remarkable 5,191 trillion Valies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 304,774 Valies, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,941,848 per year while the poor average 19,711, a ratio of 98.5 to 1.

Real power lies not in the debating room but with those who decide what is debated, all recreational drugs are legal, anyone with a tin cup can stop by the welfare office to have it filled with coins, and the rich are often stinkingly so. Crime is totally unknown. Joevala's national animal is the Kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Joeyism.

Joevala is ranked 4,204^th in the world and 172^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 6,895.72 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
