The Democratic Republic of Great Joy is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Sushi Dailley with an even hand, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, national health service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.333 billion Great Joyians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Great Joyous Utopia City. The average income tax rate is 75.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Great Joyian economy, worth 169 trillion Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 126,828 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life, space has been brought down to earth with constellations of cancer cases across Great Joy, airport security is provided by private companies, and advert breaks are played at lower volumes to make them easier to ignore. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Joy's national animal is the blobfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Great Joy is ranked 204,536^th in the world and 872^nd in Europe for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 31,199.92 Standard Monetary Units.
