The Fiefdom of Josiah Bartlett is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, pith helmet sales, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 4.537 billion Josiah Bartlettians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Welfare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 23.6%.

The Josiah Bartlettian economy, worth 219 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,389 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Former bars are desperately trying to re-brand themselves as cafés, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects, and the nation's armed forces are recruiting thousands to help colonise Brasilistan. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Josiah Bartlett's national animal is the Kitsune, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Josiah Bartlett is ranked 227,616^th in the world and 5^th in Ramallah for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 29.7 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
