The Queen's State of John McLoughlin is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 25.819 billion John McLoughlinians 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 minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The very strong John McLoughlinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,040 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 40,306 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 274,032 per year while the poor average 2,165, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, the government is avowedly atheist, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. John McLoughlin's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

John McLoughlin is ranked 289,719^th in the world and 8^th in Santiago for Lowest Crime Rates, with 32.32 law-abiding acts per hour.
