The Republic of John Sterling is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 9.178 billion John Sterlingians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 70.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient John Sterlingian economy, worth a remarkable 1,119 trillion Baseballs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 121,937 Baseballs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Military officers are given medals for disobeying orders, drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth, business is banging at no-tell motels, and doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. John Sterling's national animal is the Yankee, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

John Sterling is ranked 29,541st in the world and 289th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 1,368.015791136 days.
