The Commune of John Republic is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President John with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 9.257 billion Johns enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of John City. The average income tax rate is 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient John Republician economy, worth a remarkable 1,103 trillion Tyrs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 119,234 Tyrs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There have been reports of people marrying housepets, feeling like a winner comes at a price, graffiti graces every city's streets, and tourists are forbidden to enter Native John Republician lands. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. John Republic's national animal is the alicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

John Republic is ranked 238,861^st in the world and 27^th in The United Federations for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 20,269.86 Standard Monetary Units.
