The Occidental People's Republic of Josepania is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by El Presidente Jose David Costantino with an even hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, humorless population of 28.236 billion Josepanians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Palmira. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Josepanian economy, worth a remarkable 7,875 trillion gold pesos 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 278,926 gold pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners, conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors, traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, and saying 'Hi Guys' to a mixed gender group of people at work is a fireable offense. Crime is totally unknown. Josepania's national animal is the seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Communionist Liberationist Catholicism.

Josepania is ranked 18,643^rd in the world and 241^st in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 90.9 law-abiding acts per hour.
