The Republic of John Green is a large, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 182 million John Greenians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.5%.

The strong John Greenian economy, worth 11.0 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 60,310 marks, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. John Green's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

John Green is ranked 224,613^th in the world and 2^nd in Arachnophobia for Highest Poor Incomes, with 20,103.56 Standard Monetary Units.
